Following the devastating earthquake in December 1988 SOS-Kinderdorf International decided to take immediate emergency measures and constructed a provisional Children's Village. However, it soon proved that after the emergency relief long-term help would be needed and this is why in 1989 the construction of the first Armenian SOS Children's Village in Kotajk, began. The SOS Children's Village which was built earthquake-proof using pre-fabricated elements and was already completed in 1990. In 1992, a SOS-kindergarten was added, which takes in children from the neighbourhood as well. On 18 April 1998 the SOS Children's Village Kotajk was officially opened in the presence of Mr Helmut Kutin, president of SOS-Kinderdorf International, and other guests of honour. In February 2001 a SOS Youth Facility was opened, where the youths live during the time of their vocational training or education and prepare themselves for an independent life under the guidance of their youth leaders.
