Our Mission

Who We Are: Freedom Loving Youth (FLY) is a 501(c)(3) international organization founded in 2012 by mother and daughter Karoline and Alina Samuelian. We are dedicated to transforming the lives of children and families living in poverty by providing the resources and opportunities they need to rebuild their lives and create brighter futures. With compassionate teams in Los Angeles, Armenia, Syria, and Lebanon, FLY carries out its mission both locally and internationally—bringing hope to children and families wherever the need is greatest.

Past Initiatives: From 2012–2022, FLY passionately supported thousands of children and families in Syria, offering crucial humanitarian aid amidst the war. In 2020, following the devastating Beirut explosion, FLY provided food for 500 families and delivered medical aid to 7 urgent care centers, ensuring critical relief reached those most affected. That same year, during the Artsakh war, FLY supported over 800 displaced families, as well as fallen soldiers’ families, POWs, and injured soldiers—bringing urgent aid and hope in a time of national crisis.

Our Focus: Since 2016, FLY has dedicated its efforts to uplifting single mothers and children living in some of Armenia’s harshest conditions, including families struggling to survive in metal containers. Through humanitarian aid, education, empowerment seminars, and job training, we give our beneficiaries the tools to create brighter futures, build meaningful careers, and break the cycle of poverty with dignity and independence.
