ԱՍՔ Մարիամ Անտոնյան / ASK Mariam Antonyan

Listen to our #ASK of Little Star Charitable Fund Director Mariam Antonyan on the Teach For Armenia podcast! After the 2020 Artsakh war, Mariam and her colleagues created a brand called "Made in Kurtan" to raise awareness of Kurtan village.

"There is a big problem in our villages. Many people consider being born and raised in villages a disadvantage. As a result, many families aim to send their children to cities as soon as they are adults. Looking back, we are happy that the residents of Kurtan are proud to produce jackets in their village. They consider this their brand."
