On December 1, U.S. Ambassador to Armenia John A. Heffern and Armenian
officials and guests participated in the opening ceremony of the newly
renovated kitchen and sanitary facilities in kindergartens in the
Kanaker-Zeytun (No.161) and Achapnyak (No. 46) districts of Yerevan.
The USG-supported renovation projects were implemented by International
Relief and Development (IRD).
The preschools were constructed in the 1970s and had fallen into
disrepair. Over a three-month period, IRD implemented the two
renovation projects with support from the U.S. Department of State
and co-funding from the Church of Latter-day Saint Charities. The
Kanaker-Zeytun Community Governor's contribution to the project
supported purchase of a large electrical range for the kitchen. The
renovation project addressed important humanitarian needs and
improved food hygiene and sanitary conditions for the preschoolsÕ~[
children. IRD also provided clothes, quilts, and school supplies to
the children.
Since 1992, the U.S. Department of State has been providing
humanitarian assistance throughout the region through projects known
collectively as Operation Provide Hope (OPH). To date, assistance
valued at USD $405 million has been directed to Armenia through OPH
to benefit needy populations including the elderly, disabled, orphans,
children, and victims of disaster.
