On November 22, 2007, Armenians across the world will unite under one mission: to help rebuild Armenia's impoverished rural regions. Armenia Fund's 10th International Telethon will celebrate 15 years of successful development and highlight the Fund's outlook for the years to come. The live telethon will air internationally from Los Angeles and feature musical performances, documentary segments, special guests, and many surprises.
Your continued support helps further Armenia Fund's nation building initiatives. Proceeds from Telethon 2007 will benefit Armenia Fund's new beneficiary project – the Village Development Program. This multi-level regional development plan will help revitalize Armenia's rural villages. Among the critical infrastructure development plans envisioned for the program include the building of new village schools, drinking water systems, and agricultural development programs for village farmers, as well as healthcare facilities across the rural regions. The Tavush Region, located in northeastern Armenia, will be the first to benefit from this large scale program. Armenia Fund will coordinate its work with the U.S. Government's Millennium Challenge Corporation, the United Nations Development Programme, and the World Bank. Additionally, Armenia Fund will carry out regional development projects in the Martuni Region of Nagorno Karabakh.
Since 1991, Armenia Fund has rendered more than $160 million in short term humanitarian aid as well as long term infrastructure development projects. The organization was instrumental for urgently facilitating the critical energy needs of the fledgling Armenian republic from 199 – 1994. In addition to its relief aid, the organization has constructed major infrastructure that includes rural roads and highways, drinking water and irrigation networks, healthcare facilities, schools, and cultural and historical projects' rehabilitation.
