Vardenis Adult Recreation Center

Description

The town of Vardenis is located in the Gegharkunik Region of Armenia, in the valley of the Masrik River, near the southeastern shores of Lake Sevan. The town is home to about 12,600 residents.

The Vardenis municipality has provided a space in the village of Meds Masrik to launch an elderly activity center with the partnership of a local charitable organization that is prepared to run the day to day operations at the center. The local NGO is called, Association of Healthcare and Assistance to Older People. Elderly refugees from Artsakh have also settled into this community and will greatly benefit from this center.

We hope to raise the funds necessary to renovate this center which will be housed in two adjacent buildings to both provide elderly refuges and other elderly villagers a place to gather, have a hot meal and engage in meaningful interactions. The budget for the launch of this important project is $69,000..
