Build Homes in Armenia with The Fuller Center for Housing Global
Builders Program

June 12, 2008 6:00 AM
There is great demand for safe affordable homes. You can help!

Join a Global Builders team and enjoy the richness of Armenia and its
generous people in a remarkable way – by working side by side with
them. Travel the back roads of Armenia instead of the well beaten
tourist path. Learn about Armenia’s captivating history and culture
while helping a needy family achieve their lifelong dream of a healthy
home. You will come away with more than you gave, with more than you
ever hoped to receive.

Dates of available Global Builders trips
July 13- 26
August 2-15
October 5-19

Team leaders are experienced in this type of mission trip and have
traveled regularly to Armenia to build homes since 2003. Costs are
expected to be approximately $1600-1900, not including airfare. No
construction experience is needed. For more information, or to
register for a team, contact Volunteer@FullerCenterArmenia.org Change
the world one home, one family at a time.

The Fuller Center for Housing-Armenia is a covenant partner of The
Fuller Center for Housing organization based in Americus, Georgia. It
is a nonprofit organization that supports community development in
Armenia by assisting in building and renovating simple, decent and
affordable homes. This newest addition to the Fuller Center family,
joined them on May 2 of this year.

The Fuller Center for Housing International is a nonprofit, ecumenical
Christian housing ministry. FCH seeks to eliminate poverty housing and
homelessness from the world, and to make decent shelter a matter of
conscience and action. The Fuller Center was founded by Habitat for
Humanity founder, Millard Fuller.

Through volunteer labor and donations of money and materials, The
Fuller Center builds and rehabilitates simple, decent houses with the
help of the homeowner (partner) families. These houses are sold to
partner families at no profit, financed with affordable, no-interest
loans. The homeowners’ monthly mortgage payments are used to build
still more Fuller Center houses.

The Fuller Center does not offer a giveaway program. In addition to
the monthly mortgage payments, homeowners invest hundreds of hours of
their own labor — sweat equity — into building their Fuller Center
for Housing home and the homes of others. Please visit the Fuller
Center for Housing websites at or
to learn more about these programs or to
volunteer.
