Heating for Azatamut Clinic
Description
Nestled in the upper northeast region of Armenia, the village of Azatamut is located in the Tavush region. It is an isolated border community with a population of 2,513. The Armenian Government previously renovated the Azatamut Clinic, however, they did not run gas to the building during their renovations leaving them without heat during the rough winters. The local Governor’s Office approached The Paros Foundation and asked us to complete this important project for the community.Â

The Need
With no heating, the Azatamut Clinic is non-functional during the winter. Local residents rely on this clinic for vaccinations, pre-natal check-ups, blood pressure screenings, and so much more. The community needs a fully functional medical clinic year round to meet their immediate medical needs.
Short Term Impact
In the short term, running gas to the Azatamut Clinic will allow community members to receive the medical care that they need during the winter months.
Long Term Impact
In the long term, a functional year-round medical clinic will lead to overall improved health in community members for years to come.Â
Sponsors Benefits
