    Fuller Center for Housing Armenia Honors the 100th Anniversary of the
    Armenian Genocide by

    Building 100 Homes for 100 Needy Families



    YEREVAN, ARMENIA: The Fuller Center for Housing Armenia (FCHA) honors the
    memory of the victims of the Armenian Genocide, all those who lost their
    lives 100 years ago and calls upon all their generations, descendants of
    the survivors, who were deprived from their home and scattered around the
    world, as well as upon all people who condemn genocide to help build 100
    homes for 100 hundred families in need. By so doing FCHA hopes to
    contribute to more Armenian families' staying in their homeland and making
    it more prosperous.


    ''2015 marks the 100th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide and we are
    calling upon all Armenians from all over the world to help us commemorate
    the 100 years of remembrance by providing shelter for the vulnerable
    Armenian families living in metal containers, basements, half built houses
    or other temporary shelters and by so changing their lives'' said Ashot
    Yeghiazaryan, FCHA President.


    So far, already 68 families were assisted, 3 more family houses are
    sponsored and will be built this year. Still there are 29 families to be
    assisted by the end of 2015.


    The Avagyans are one of those families who moved to Berdzor in 1997 to
    populate and strengthen it after Nagorno-Kharabagh conflict. Janik and
    Khachanush believed that they could have their contribution in the
    development of the newly born and liberated country; their three sons were
    also inspired by the same feelings and ideas. Two of their sons have now
    their own houses and families in Berdzor. Today they live together with the
    second son's, Romanos' family of seven, altogether 9 member in a house.

    In 2011 the local administration of Berdzor provided Romanos Avagyan's
    family with a house, but they couldn't afford to rehabilitate that house
    with the dilapidated roof and without basic conditions vital for each human
    being.

    ``This is a kind of miracle - the best miracle for the New Year. I can't
    find words of gratitude... your support was vital for my family. Thank you,
    may God bless you and your family!'' hardly could express her happiness the
    young mother of five.


    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 completed, all house-donors will receive a certificate from
    FCHA and photos of the new house.

    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.


    To Honor 100 Years by Saving 100 Families, please send a donation to
    the Fuller Center for Housing Armenia, Inc., PO Box 523, Americus, Georgia
    31709, USA. Please write `'Armenia-100'' in the memo line of your check. To
    donate online, please visit:

    If a donor or group of donors wishes to sponsor a single, completed
    home at $10,500, please email FCHA at [email protected] to
    provide your message or dedication for the plaque for the beneficiary
    family. For more information, please visit: www.fcharmenia.org



    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 provides long-term, interest and
    inflation 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. Since 2008 FCHA has
    assisted 362 families to build and renovate their homes
