Owing to the partnership between VivaCell-MTS and Fuller Center for Housing Armenia, the construction of a half-built house and renovation of roofs have been completed in Shgharshik community of Aragatsotn province in 2015. VivaCell-MTS General Manager Ralph Yirikian and Fuller Center for Housing Armenia President Ashot Yeghiazaryan participated in the housewarming ceremony and visited the families, who benefitted from the project.
Last year the jointly implemented housing project launched with the construction of a house. For 20 years, the Khamoyans lived in a half-built house, without a kitchen or a bathroom. The building that was initially designed as a boiling house now has become a decent home for the family.
“Our happiness seems so dreamlike now. Each member of our family wants to spend more time at home, enjoy the comfort we had been deprived of for so many years,” said Mushegh, the father of the Khamoyan family.
“Overcoming indifference is in the core of this program, which is very much like the system of values adopted by our company,” Yirikyan said. “Left alone with their problems and troubles, people first adapt to the situation and, as a next step, isolate themselves from others. We strive to lend a helping hand, support families facing hard times, sending a clear message to others not to be indifferent.”
40 families from various Armenian provinces started the New Year with joy and new hopes in their new or renovated homes.
VivaCell-MTS invested AMD100 million (AMD55 million in 2014) in the project in 2015, with Fuller Center for Housing Armenia implementing it. Through this partnership, the number of the families having their houses renovated or reconstructed has reached 93 since 2007.
