The Chkalov village of Lori region has a history of 250 years. One of
the most vital issues of the community is the absence of the drinking
water supply network. The only spring situated in the center of the
village, from which the villagers take water, is getting scarce.
People have to get to the spring from morning till late evening to
have water for the basic needs of the household.
According to the press service of VivaCell-MTS, propelling the personal
volunteering initiatives, VivaCell-MTS General Manager Ralph Yirikian
has donated AMD 8 200 000 from his personal funds for the construction
of the drinking water supply network in the village.
Owing to the investment 5.5 km of the 20 km-long water pipeline has
already been constructed. 74 households will become the beneficiaries
of the implemented project.
These voluntary initiatives, as stated by VivaCell-MTS General Manager,
are meant to set an example for people to follow. We as individuals
are as responsible as companies in this country. Such a commitment
is also important from the point of view of increasing the awareness
and forming a responsible attitude among the beneficiaries of the
implemented projects. The Chkalov villagers realize that drinking
water is vital resource and water efficiency derives from the sense
of responsibility towards the future generations. Moreover, the young
people constructing the water pipeline try to avoid massive logging:
In some stages of the construction they refuse using special machinery
and rely on manual work.
For years, the project of constructing a water supply network could
not be implemented because of the scarcity of the community budget.
Today, the problem of funds is solved, and the villagers' only
concern is finishing the construction works as soon as possible. The
road from the headwater to the village center is hard to surmount,
but the inhabitants of Chkalov are excited at the thought that the
problem of drinking water will no longer bother them by winter. They
emphasize that devotion is what unites the people implementing the
project and those supporting the network construction.
