VIVA Foundation Named November Beneficiary of “The Power of One Dram”

As part of “The Power of One Dram” initiative, IDBank and Idram have announced the results for October. A total of AMD 4,589,996 has been transferred to the “Physmath Friends” Charitable Foundation, the initiative’s beneficiary for the previous month.

The funds will be allocated to the “Olympiad Movement” initiative, supporting the continued operation of Olympiad preparation groups, the professional development of teachers, and broader access to Olympiad education for more students.

The November beneficiary of “The Power of One Dram” initiative is the VIVA Foundation, with its “Program for Ensuring Access to Telemedicine Services.”

As part of the program, support will be provided for the continued operation of telemedicine points over a one-year period. These centers serve the villages of Zaritap in Vayots Dzor Province; Halidzor, Vorotan, Khndzoresk, Vaghatur, Tsav, and Shvanidzor in Syunik Province; and Koti in Tavush Province. The initiative aims to provide residents of remote communities with access to free medical consultations and ongoing health monitoring, reducing the need to travel to other locations for medical care. The program also aligns with IDBank’s strategic priority of supporting regional development.

According to Tatevik Vardevanyan, Head of the Communications and Sustainable Development Department at Idram and IDBank, ensuring access to high-quality services in the regions is one of the companies’ key priorities.

“Access to healthcare services is particularly important for residents of border and remote communities. Through ‘The Power of One Dram’ initiative, each of our customers contributes to improving the quality of life in our regions simply by making their everyday payments. This telemedicine program is an excellent example of how technological solutions can help protect people’s health and improve their quality of life,” emphasized Tatevik Vardevanyan.

Tatyana Hovhannisyan, Co-founder and Director of the VIVA Foundation, stated:

“On behalf of the VIVA Foundation, I would like to express our gratitude to Idram and IDBank for supporting our work in Armenia’s remote and border communities. In villages where the nearest medical facilities are far away, this support will help children and elderly people living alone receive timely medical consultations. Thanks to telemedicine, they will be able to consult a doctor without leaving their village or having to travel long distances to reach a hospital.”

"The Power of One Dram" initiative continues to support important social, community, and educational projects. To become part of the initiative's good deeds, payments should be made via the Idram&IDBank app, the IDBanking.am and banking.idram.am online platforms, or Idram and IDBank payment terminals. For every payment made, the companies donate one Armenian dram toward the implementation of important projects.
