$400,000 Relief, Resettlement, Reconstruction Challenge

The first chapter of the war is over and the next is ready to begin. The Armenian people are confronted with the overwhelming task of evacuating and surrendering lands to Azerbaijan, providing assistance and securing housing for more than 100,000 refugees from Artsakh, and repairing damages in both Armenia and Artsakh from these brutal attacks.

The Paros Foundation is being challenged with a $400,000 matching grant. Funds will be matched dollar for dollar up to $200,000 (by several anonymous donors who are contributing in honor of our brave fallen soldiers), for a total of $400,000. Winter is rapidly approaching and the holiday season is upon us. Please help us meet this challenge.

Frequently visit the Emergency Relief and Reconstruction project on
The Paros Foundation website for updates, and follow us on social media.

Today we reflect, tomorrow we rebuild.

Yesterday, an agreement was signed by Armenia, Azerbaijan and Russia to end the war in Artsakh. The terms of the agreement can be read here . The bottom line is Armenia has lost considerable portions of Artsakh including Shushi, the agreement does not address a final status of Artsakh, and provides Azerbaijan with a transit corridor to Nakhichevan. Russian peacekeeping forces are already in Artsakh enforcing this agreement.

We are grateful that no more of our brave soldiers and volunteers will lose their lives, and we are forever humbled by the heroism and sacrifice of our fallen and their families. This is a difficult time for the Armenian nation. A beacon of hope for our people was demonstrated through our collective, unified effort around the world to stand tall with our nation, and the awakening of the spirit and passion of our ancestors in our next generation and future leaders.
