Viva-MTS helps to build houses for 15 families displaced from Artsakh

In 2021 Viva-MTS and the “Fuller Center for Housing Armenia”, within the framework of the housing project, built houses in different regions of Armenia for 15 displaced families.

The Khachatryan family from Artsakh moved to Agarakadzor village of Vayots Dzor region where their semi-dilapidated house turned into a decent home with all necessities with the support of the partners. The heads of the partner organization visited the Khachatryans to share with them the joy of housewarming.

“Years ago, as I was sharing the importance of our partnership, I would put an emphasis on its long-term impact, saying that its positive outcomes were there to stay for many years after the program was over. After having contacted so many families over years I have now found a more accurate definition for it: this program makes people live. It is a fundamental instrument to inspire hope and faith in people’s hearts. When a person in a remote village facing the burden of own problems knows there is someone to rely on, that person believes in oneself, makes efforts and overcomes the problems while keeping one’s head up. That is a crucial indicator for us,” Viva-MTS General Manager Ralph Yirikian said.

Viva-MTS has invested over AMD 230 mln into the housing project implemented in 10 regions of Armenia, as a result of which 87 families benefitted in 2021.
