Home Renovation for Alik S.
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.
Alik lives in NKA with his family of seven, which includes four adults and three children. Their home requires several essential interior repairs. This $13,000 project will replace damaged subflooring and the electrical system, install new laminate flooring and tile and repair and repaint the walls and ceilings.
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 home requires repairs to its flooring, walls, ceilings and electrical system. Completing these improvements will address the home’s most pressing interior needs and provide safer and more suitable living conditions for all seven family members.
Short Term Impact
Once the renovations are completed, the family will have new flooring, repaired and freshly painted living spaces and an updated electrical system. 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
These improvements will help prevent further deterioration and provide Alik’s family with a safer, more comfortable and functional home 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.
