Founded on behalf of the survivors of the Armenian Genocide and in gratitude to their saviors, the Aurora Humanitarian Initiative seeks to empower modern-day saviors to offer life and hope to those in urgent need of basic humanitarian aid anywhere in the world, and thus to continue the cycle of giving internationally. The Aurora Humanitarian Initiative is Gratitude in Action.
