Hayastan All-Armenian Fund has completed the full reconstruction
and furnishing of the Mataghis kindergarten in Karabakh’s Martakert
region. The project was made possible through the sponsorship (cost
around AMD 22 million) of the Hayastan All-Armenian Fund Lebanese
local committee.

The idea of rebuilding the old village school into a kindergarten
emerged when a spacious modern school for 120 students was constructed
in the community in 2007 with funds from the Hayastan All-Armenian
Fund Toronto affiliate.

The one-storey building of the kindergarten, now standing new and
welcoming, can accommodate 30 youngsters. Donors of the project have
also taken care of the furniture for the place, as well as facilities
for the playground.

As soon as recruitment of mentors, instructors, and supporting staff
is over, the kindergarten will open its doors to the excited youngsters
of the village.

"It is hard to tell which of the numerous infrastructural projects
implemented by the Hayastan All-Armenian Fund have been the most
important ones, but one thing I can tell for sure; projects having to
do with children, their upbringing and education, are most special. It
is so rewarding that we have provided a small village like Mataghis
with both a modern school and a kindergarten," says Ara Vardanyan,
the a cting executive director.
