General Support

The Jinishian Memorial Program (JMP) enables Armenians in need, especially genocide survivors and their descendants, to move from poverty and despair to self-sufficiency and hope — through relief, development and spiritual uplift. For over 40 years Presbyterian contributions have supported programs that help the needy to cope with the lack of daily necessities in order to alleviate immediate need, poverty, poor health and personal hardship, as well as projects that have a self-help approach to economic development, which encourages the poor to identify their own needs, define their goals, plan for solutions and organize themselves to attain the objectives they have chosen. JMP brings hope to Armenian communities, families and individuals in Armenia and the Middle East and enables them to be self-reliant.
