Armenian General Benevolent Union

The Armenian General Benevolent Union (AGBU) is a non-profit organization founded in 1906 in Cairo, Egypt, by a group of Armenian intellectuals and philanthropists. Its mission is to promote and preserve Armenian culture, heritage, and identity through educational, cultural, and humanitarian initiatives. AGBU has played a significant role in supporting the Armenian community worldwide, particularly in the aftermath of the Armenian Genocide, by providing assistance to displaced Armenians and fostering community development. Today, AGBU operates globally, with a focus on educational programs, cultural activities, and humanitarian aid, serving as a vital resource for Armenians in the diaspora and in Armenia itself.
