From Lebanon
Araz Kekejian
Co-Founder & CEO of All For Armenia
Araz Kekejian was born and raised in Beirut, Lebanon, where she received a Bachelor of Science in software engineering from the Lebanese University. She came to Armenia in 2016 to volunteer with the Birthright Armenia Program and has since repatriated. 
 
During the beginning days of the 2020 Artsakh war, she and her husband worked on the ground to gather and deliver urgent humanitarian aid to soldiers, refugees, and others affected by the war and founded the All for Armenia non-profit organization. Since then, its mission has evolved into a long-term sustainable form of aid extending beyond basic needs. All For Armenia’s latest and most ambitious initiative is the KorniTun community home in the border village of Kornidzor, which will serve as both an after-school educational center for village youth, as well as a place to stay for volunteers, teachers, and guests. 
 
Araz is also a Product Manager, working for international organizations remotely from Armenia and applying her 10+ years of experience in FinTech.
