Home Renovation for Nune M.
Description
Since 2012, The Paros Foundation has worked to improve the quality of life in Nerkin Karmir Aghbyur (NKA), an important border village of approximately 1,100 residents in Armenia’s Tavush Region. Through our Prosperity on the Border initiative, the Foundation has helped rebuild or improve the village’s school, kindergarten, medical center, emergency services building, municipal building and water distribution system. With the support of Jean-Marie Atamian, his family and friends, partial or complete renovations have also been completed on nearly 10% of the village’s homes. This continued investment helped make NKA one of the communities selected by The Paros Foundation to welcome families displaced from Artsakh.
Nune lives with her family of seven in a two-story home in NKA, where her husband leads a local construction crew. Although the home provides the family with much-needed space, it requires extensive renovations throughout. The project will replace the roof, flooring, windows and doors, upgrade the electrical system, install a new heating system, add a new bathroom and repaint the interior. A budget of $55,500 has been established to complete the renovations and provide the family with a safe and comfortable home.
Sponsorship of this project will provide the materials, skilled labor and technical support needed to complete the family’s home renovations. By creating safe and comfortable living conditions, this project will help the family build a more secure future while supporting the continued strength and stability of this important border village.

The Need
The family’s large two-story home requires extensive repairs and updates throughout. The roof, flooring, electrical system, heating system, bathroom, windows and doors all need to be replaced or renovated. Completing this work will address the home’s most urgent needs and provide adequate living conditions for all seven family members.
Short Term Impact
Once the renovation is completed, the family will have a safer, warmer and more functional home with reliable heating, an updated bathroom and improved living spaces throughout. The construction work will also create short-term employment for local tradespeople and skilled workers, keeping a portion of the project’s investment within the area.
Long Term Impact
The complete renovation will protect the home from further deterioration and provide the family with stability and comfort for years to come. Helping families remain in NKA also supports the continued strength and vitality of this important border village.
Sponsors Benefits
Sponsors will be recognized on The Paros Foundation’s website and in press and project-related communications. Project updates will be shared as the renovation progresses, and visits to the family and village can be arranged for sponsors traveling to Armenia.
