Description
The town of Vardenis is located in the Gegharkunik Region of Armenia, in the valley of the Masrik River, near the southeastern shores of Lake Sevan. Â The town is home to about 12,600 residents.Â
The Vardenis municipality has provided a space to launch an elderly activity center with the partnership of a local charitable organization that is prepared to run the day to day operations at the center. Elderly refugees from Artsakh have also settled into this community and will greatly benefit from this center. Â
We hope to raise the funds necessary to renovate this center which will be housed in two adjacent buildings to both provide elderly refuges and other elderly villagers a place to gather, have a hot meal and engage in meaningful interactions. The budget for the launch of this important project is $69,000.
The Need
often are lonely and lack meaningful interaction.
Short Term Impact
As funding becomes available, homes with the greatest need for repairs will be addressed in a priority manner. Reconstruction materials will be purchased locally and the work will be completed with local labor crews.
Long Term Impact
In the long term, homes in these communities will be improved beyond their previous condition. In addition, quickly removing these scars of war will improve villager’s attitudes and moral, which is equally as important as their living conditions.
Sponsors Benefits
All sponsors of this important project will be listed on The Paros Foundation’s website and in all press related to this project. Visits to these communities can be arranged for sponsors visiting Armenia.

The kindergarten in the village of Aygepar was hit by Azeri artillery this morning. We had finished the complete renovation of this kindergarten in 2018 and will assess the damage and rebuild again as soon as possible! We build, they destroy!
