As 2023 comes to an end, we look back on the deep challenges and positive developments Armenia experienced this past year. Throughout it all one thing has not changed, our dedication to making a positive difference throughout the country. Below are a few highlights of the impact we made this year, and we hope to keep building on the success of each of these projects as we take on 2024. We still have a long and difficult road ahead of us, but it is with your support that we can make that all possible. Learn about each of these projects and the positive impact they are making and consider joining us in continuing that positivity into 2024.

Difficult living conditions combined with dangerous conditions in villagers’ fields that are oftentimes adjacent to the border lead to very limited economic opportunities in these communities. These harsh realities lead to declining populations in border communities and ultimately less secure borders.
The Paros Foundation’s Prosperity on the Border initiative focuses on addressing these problems in vital border communities to create vibrant villages and reverse the decline of residents.
Stability in one’s community, one’s home and one’s life is critical not only for our people’s survival but for our ability to prosper. Instability leads to people making rash decisions and leads to migration, insecurity, and our inability to develop our communities. The Paros Foundation’s investment in both urban and rural communities through both our housing and educational programs has created stability in the lives of many of our compatriots and thus within several communities throughout Armenia.
Successfully implemented projects do not just happen. It takes a well-designed program, properly funded and masterly implemented. The Paros Foundation’s 17 years of on-the-ground work in Armenia, its 100% promise to underwrite all of the administrative costs, combined with quality leadership and very capable staff has overseen the successful implementation of more than 330 projects throughout Armenia.
