Hayastan All-Armenian Fund is 18
Yerevan, March 3, 2010. Today, March 3, 2010, the Hayastan All-Armenian
Fund is celebrating its 18th anniversary.
The Fund was founded by Presidential Decree in March 1992 with a mission to
unite Armenians in Armenia and the Diaspora to overcome the country’s
difficulties and to help establish sustainable development in Armenia and
Artsakh.
The fund’s accomplishments to date comprise a broad range of initiatives
that are of vital importance to our homeland. They include the construction
or renovation of roads, schools, kindergartens, hospitals, and water and gas
networks, as well as assistance to socially vulnerable groups such as
families of disabled or deceased veterans of Artsakh’s war of liberation,
students from disadvantaged families, pensioners, and parentless children.
Today the generous support of the worldwide Armenian community continues to
help improve the lives of thousands in Armenia and Artsakh by securing
housing, water, heating, and other core necessities.
Today the Fund has widespread respect and recognition for successfully
meeting the needs and aspirations of the time.
Since its establishment in 1992, the Fund has drawn more than 300,000 donors
and implemented over $200 million worth of projects in Armenia and Artsakh,
which include roads and highways (over 470 km), waterways (over 212 km), gas
lines (over 144 km), power-transmission lines (over 75 km), schools and
kindergartens (over 218km), residential buildings (over 410), healthcare
facilities (over 34), sports and cultural centers (over 21).
"I would like to greet and express my deepest gratitude to the Fund’s
Affiliates worldwide, as well as our donors, who has been contributing to
the Fund’s work, committed to its mission in our homeland", says the
Executive Director of the Fund Ara Vardanyan.
