Description
Excerpted from the website:
- Background
- Established in 1910, AGBU London is a branch of the global Armenian General Benevolent Union (AGBU) founded in April 1906 in Cairo by Armenian philanthropists, who saw the need for a global philanthropic organisation to assist the destitute Armenian population living on historic Armenian lands in the eastern Armenian provinces and the Anatolian plateau of Ottoman Turkey. They sent delegations to all major cities of the world calling on Armenians to join them and support their mission.
- By 1913 AGBU boasted a worldwide membership of over 9,300. The organization had over 160 Chapters in four continents, including 80 in Ottoman Turkey, 54 in the Americas, 25 in Europe and four in Africa.
