VivaCell-MTS, Fuller Center for Housing launch this year's construction works in Parpi village

 

The goal to move families from metal
containers and half-builds and to free them from
 despair continues to be implemented in the
frames of a
 coordinated program. This year,
VivaCell-MTS and Fuller Center for Housing Armenia, started construction
projects
from the village of Parpi. The
housing program, being implemented by partner organizations, gives low-income
families an opportunity to build homes on their own and with the help of
volunteers. The program significantly contributes to the well-being of the
families.

 

The
Knyazyans have been living in a metal container for 20 years. They moved here
after marriage and lived in the absence of basic housing conditions. The father
of the family, Sergo, tried to build a house, but could not go further than
building the walls of the house. The efforts were useless due to the lack of
financial resources and many other existing problems. The family continued
living in a metal container nurturing the hope of having a home one day.

 

“My son
and I work hard to provide for the everyday needs of the family, but we are not
able to continue the construction of the house. We live without any housing
conditions; there is neither a bathroom nor a kitchen in the metal container.
There is only dampness that comes with rains, and cold walls. Thanks to your support,
the dream of my family to have a home will become a reality,” said Sergo, the
family father.

 

The
heads and staff members of the partnering organizations joined the family for
house construction to give them hope for a bright future.

 

“We
kick start the first construction of this year. The long cherished dream of
this family will be made true, which have been united by a willingness to be
useful to our compatriots. That is one of the most important achievements of
the program. That urge to help others, the empathy, willingness, and purpose are
very important for the construction. I am confident that this positive energy
will fill this home with joy and light. And if everyone is united to be useful
to one another, our country will flourish,” said VivaCell-MTS General Manager
Ralph Yirikian.

 

Owing to the housing program implemented together with
VivaCell-MTS, the Knyazyan family will soon feel the happiness of
having own a home. I give great importance
to also helping families with volunteering activities. We aim to assist
families to build their homes and to inspire faith in the future,” said Fuller
Center for Housing Armenia President Ashot Yeghiazaryan.
