Armenia FUND RAISES FUNDS EVERY YEAR VIA THE TELETHON

Thanksgiving Day Telethon 2017 aired on November 23rd, 2017. Having become a Thanksgiving Day tradition for Armenians around the world, the Telethon 2017 aired from Los Angeles coast to coast and internationally.

Proceeds from the Telethon will benefit the the construction of single family homes for families in Nagorno Karabakh who have 5 children or more and lack adequate housing, living in overcrowded homes. There are 466 families in Karabakh who have more than 5 children and 211 of them lack adequate housing. The homes, that Armenia Fund is going to build with the funds raised during the Telethon, will have land plots of 10,000 sq ft each, where the families can grow fruits and vegetables. Armenia Fund will provide furniture for every room in the house as well as provide household appliances, including water heaters, refrigerators, washers, stoves and vacuum cleaners.

The 2015 target is the ground-breaking project to construct fully furnished single family homes for families in Artsakh who have 5 children or more and lack adequate housing. There are already 466 families identified in Artsakh who fit the criteria and 211 are known to live in unacceptable housing conditions. International medical research shows that overcrowding and poor living conditions result in slow growth in children and severely increases the risk of disease including meningitis, tuberculosis, asthma and heart problems.

The homes that Armenia Fund constructs for these families will have land plots of 10,000 sq. ft. each, where the families can grow fruits and vegetables. Armenia Fund will provide furniture for every room in the house as well as provide household appliances, including water heaters, refrigerators, washers, stoves and vacuum cleaners. According to the program, priority will be given to low income families, families of veterans of the Artsakh Liberation War as well as to the survivors of soldiers who lost their lives defending Artsakh.

Murderous Azerbaijiani commandoes once again attacked our historic homeland this August. The entire population of Artsakh – men, women, children and the elderly – were under threat of renewed war. Hundreds of husbands, fathers and sons fought bravely for the freedom of their nation, families, neighbors and friends. Seventeen paid the ultimate price and died.

It is NOW that we must join together so these courageous men’s sacrifice of their lives and futures will not have been in vain!

Thanks to your generous support of Armenia Fund, infrastructure has been built in the form of roads, medical centers, schools, kindergartens and water projects in order to stabilize and strengthen Artsakh. Because of these projects, residents stay in their ancestral villages, develop their land, and provide for their families.

Thanks to dedicated friends like you, Armenia Fund provides jobs for local workers. This year alone, 350 new jobs were created by Armenia Fund while building the strategically important Vardenis-Martakert Highway. We employed people from the villages along the Highway providing them with an honest pay for an honest day’s work.

This year’s focus was the Vardenis-Martakert Highway, strategically linking Artsakh to Armenia from the North has a critical importance for both countries. It is the missing link to fully integrate Armenia’s and Artsakh’s highway systems and connect Artsakh to Armenia’s and subsequently, Europe’s railway system. The economic development spurred by the highway has the potential to double Artsakh’s GDP by 2020. The highway seriously stimulates creation of jobs in agriculture, manufacturing, tourism and trade.
