Community Gym in Gavar

Description

Gevorg is an amazing young man who is a champion weightlifter who has competed throughout the world. He is proud of the gym he has built in Gavar and Verin Karmiraghbyur both for the quality of the trainings that takes place, as well as the fact that he provides free access to for training and rehabilitation for people with disabilities and war veterans. Gevorg uniquely understands that difficulties faced by people with disabilities and those injured during the war as Gevorg, himself, has cerebral palsy.

Gevorg and his NGO partners and friends have successfully fully renovated the Gavar gym through supplying both labor and some materials to complete the renovation work themselves. With utility costs, it is difficult for Gevork to continue to operate with his established model of charging a modest fee for the gym’s use and for classes to help off set the expenses related to providing free access to people with disabilities and injured veterans. Gevork would greatly benefit from a 10 KW solar panel system on the gyms roof. This would off-set the Gavar Community Gym’s high winter heating costs and allow their existing fee structure to continue.

The Need

The Gavar Community Gym needs assistance with operating the gym under the model of free access for people with injuries from the war and those with disabilities. To do this, the gym needs a solar panel array installed to help offset heating and electricity costs.

Short Term Impact

In the short term, Gevork will be able to continue operating the gym with free of charge access to people with disabilities and those who were injured in the war.

Long Term Impact

In the long term, people with disabilities and war veterans injured will be able to have a space to exercise, train and conduct rehabilitation activities free of charge.

Sponsors Benefits

All sponsors of this important project will be listed on The Paros Foundation’s website and in all press related to this project. Visits to these communities can be arranged for sponsors visiting Armenia.
