The Fuller Center for Housing Armenia
YEREVAN-The Fuller Center for Housing Armenia (FCHA) announced that
it will build and renovate 100 homes between now and December 2015
to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide. The
project, called "Honoring 100 Years by Saving 100 Families," will be
driven by charitable contributions to give low-income and homeless
families a safe and decent home, while emphasizing the importance of
families remaining in Armenia on a permanent basis.
Armenians worldwide are welcomed to support this project and honor
the memories of their loved ones who were martyrs or survivors of
the Armenian Genocide. A donation of $10,500 will sponsor a single,
completed home. The beneficiary family will receive a personalized,
commemorative plaque inscribed with the donor's choice of message or
dedication. When a donation is less than a single home sponsorship,
FCHA will combine the contributions it receives with other gifts and
assign a beneficiary family when $10,500 has been collected. All donors
will receive a profile of the beneficiary family with photos showing
their current living conditions. When construction is completed,
all donors will receive a certificate from FCHA and photos of the
new house.
"We are reaching out to our compatriots around the world to partner
with us on this new campaign. We hope that families in the Diaspora
will come together and support the construction of homes in the names
of their loved ones. Our objective is to commemorate the Armenian
Genocide in a respectful and positive way by addressing the needs of
Armenia's most vulnerable population, namely our homeless," stated
Ashot Yeghiazaryan, president of the Fuller Center for Housing Armenia.
"Since 2000, the FCHA team has been working in Armenia to eliminate
poverty housing; so far we have assisted over 650 families. However,
the housing need in Armenia is still high. Over 64,000 families
(about 8% of population) need to either build or renovate their homes.
We have seen that helping one family at a time is making a difference
for a lifetime, and impacting more than one generation. We have
established the campaign, 'Honoring 100 Years by Saving 100 Families,'
to allow us to share our love and dedication with more people who
need simple and affordable housing," Yeghiazaryan concluded.
In June 2013, the Fuller Center for Housing Armenia celebrated its
5th anniversary. On this occasion, many longtime and new partners
participated in the construction of homes, including Armenia Marriott
Hotel Yerevan, KPMG, U.S. Embassy, Armenian General Benevolent Union
(AGBU), and Christian Youth Mission for Armenia (CYMA).
The Fuller Center for Housing Armenia is a non-government, charitable
organization that supports community development in the Republic
of Armenia by assisting in building and renovating simple, decent
and affordable homes, as well as advocating the right to decent
shelter as a matter of conscience and action. FCHA provides long-term,
interest-free loans to low-income families. The monthly repayments flow
into a Revolving Fund, which is used to help more families make the
transition out of poverty housing. This system provides a financial
structure for sustainable community development.
To Honor 100 Years by Saving 100 Families, please send donations to
The Fuller Center for Housing, Inc., PO Box 523, Americus, Georgia
31709. Please write "Armenia-100" in the memo line of your check.
