Armenia Fund Rebuilds Water Main System for Marmarashen
Lebanese Affiliate Finances Project
Yerevan, Armenia - Armenia Fund's Lebanese Affiliate - Armenia Fund
Lebanon - will finance the implementation of the Marmarashen water
main system in the Ararat Region of the Republic of Armenia. The
Ararat region is home to the most fertile soil in Armenia and accounts
for the republic's fruit, vegetable, and grain based products and
exports. The region has become the breadbasket of the republic.
Over the past years, due to a lack of funds and maintenance, the
Marmarashen town's water main has ceased to operate properly. This
has resulted in the exodus of the local population to neighboring
regions. Responding to this water crisis, Armenia Fund will design
and install a new water main system. The new plan will include the
placement of pipes and a special internal network designed to meet
the potential needs of the town and region.
Presently, only twenty families reside in the Marmarashen town, as
a result of the water crisis. According to urban planning experts
working for Armenia Fund, the town will be able to properly sustain
100 families, after the water problem is solved.
This marks a milestone for the Lebanese affiliate, being a newly
revived branch of the Fund and embarking on a major project in the
Republic of Armenia.
