ИСТОРИЯ И МИССИЯI
In September of the year 1910, renowned intellectual Edward Khachadour Maloumian arrived in the United States for a tour of the Armenian communities around the country. Through his teachings, writings and group discussions, Maloumian encouraged Armenian women to take a more active role in the service of the Armenian people. Thus, in a period of a few months, Maloumian organized the existing women's groups as a cohesive nationwide society. The first few years of the society were to be devoted to planning and internal organization. The number of chapters grew rapidly, and by the date of its first Convention, held in May 1915, there were 33 registered chapters across the United States and Canada. This first Convention, held during the dark days of World War I, discussed the immediate and most pressing issues of the day, and ratified a plan of action that included the following:
A five-member Central Executive, elected at this first Convention, took charge of coordinating the activities of chapters in the implementation of the above resolutions.
In the same year, Armenian Red Cross chapters were founded in Marseille, France and Aleppo, Syria, both of which immediately associated with the U.S. headquarters of the organization.

Overall, the Program includes: child care and family services; community and self-help development programs that aim to strengthen Armenian communities by making their members economically self-sufficient; assistance to immigrants and refugees; programs for the elderly and under-privileged youth; maintenance of youth shelters and camps, old-age homes, and trade-learning centers.

In the aftermath of the December, 1988 earthquake in Armenia, the ARS:
Through a network of ARS clinics and health centers established in developing countries, the Society has rendered necessary health services as well as emergency care during wars and natural disasters. These health programs have played a providential role in improving the overall public health of many communities and have been instrumental in the elimination of chronic illnesses.
Since the 1988 earthquake, the ARS worldwide network consolidated its activities to address the immense needs of Armenia by providing more than $20,000,000 worth of relief aid and development assistance. Today, the ARS has established over 40 chapters throughout Armenia. As an independent, non-sectarian, private, voluntary, women's organization, the ARS has adopted a two-pronged approach to address the short- and long-term needs of the Armenian people:
The ARS has concentrated its efforts on providing immediate humanitarian assistance to the most needy sectors of society by mobilizing the ARS membership in Armenia on various emergency projects; In an effort to make the people of Armenia more self-sufficient, the ARS chapters and entities worldwide have committed a substantial portion of their resources to institutional strengthening and to development-oriented programs with a "train the trainer" philosophy. The promotion of this women's NGO will advance long-term stabilization and socio-economic development in Armenia.
