Honoring the Memories of the Armenian Genocide Martyrs
by Building Homes for Homeless Families!
Commemorating the 100th Anniversary of Armenian Genocide by Building
Homes for 100 Families
YEREVAN, ARMENIA - To commemorate the 100th Anniversary of the
Armenian Genocide, the Fuller Center for Housing Armenia has started a
project, called `Honoring 100 Years by Saving 100 Families,' to
remember the Armenian Genocide in a respectful way. The project will
build and renovate 100 homes for 100 at-risk families. Since the start
of the project almost a year ago, 68 families have already been
assisted. There are still 32 families needing assistance by the end of
2015.
`We express our gratitude to all our supporters for joining us and
helping honor the memories of the martyrs and survivors of the
Armenian Genocide by building homes for families that have no
permanent shelter or live in unbearable conditions. We hope to reach
our goal of supporting 100 families by the end of 2015,'' said Ashot
Yeghiazaryan, the president of the Fuller Center for Housing Armenia.
FCHA is reaching out to Armenians all over the world to support this
project. 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 construction is done, all house-donors will receive a
certificate from FCHA and photos of the new house. FCHA has already
received home sponsorships from generous supporters, including Arlene
Hajinlian of New York, the Candan and Minakian families of New York,
Sandra Shahinian Leitner of New Jersey, the Armenian community of
Racine, WI, and others.
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. Any amount donated
will make difference in the life of one more family.
`My family faced a lot of difficulties,' shares Lilit Karapetyan from
the town of Berdzor in Artsakh. `My father's family lost their home
during the Artsakh War. Later when he met my mother, they had to move
from one place to another to find shelter. In 2010, they managed to
buy a dilapidated house with only walls and a roof. They renovated the
roof with the support of the local municipality. Since then we have
been trying to finish the construction but couldn't. My parents are
hardworking people who do whatever is possible to earn a living for
our family, but that's only enough to live on.'
Lilit continues, `When my mom told me that there is an organization
that will help us finish the construction of our house, it was
overwhelming. I couldn't believe it! I've dreamed of having a home
since childhood. I'm 18 years old now. Words can't describe the
gratitude that I want to express to the sponsors and the Fuller Center
for Housing Armenia for the greatest gift of my life. By the end of
the year, we will live in our completed home - in the home of my
dreams. Thank you!'' Lilit's house is being built thanks to the
generous donations of Candan and Minakian families.
Your help can be life changing! Please help FCHA commemorate the
Armenian Genocide by building homes for families who today are living
in poverty housing.

dedication for the plaque for the beneficiary family. For more

The Fuller Center for Housing Armenia is a non-governmental,
charitable organization that supports community development in the
Republic of Armenia and Artsakh 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

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.
