Taron II-Kindergarten #40 Renovation

Read Updates

Description

The Taron II community in the city of Vanadzor was built after the devastating 1988 earthquake. Several housing blocks were constructed including a community kindergarten. Currently, the kindergarten is housed in two-section building and in need of minor renovations.

Fortunately the building already has a source of heat and no issues with the roof. Sponsorship of this project will help start renovation work with the kitchen and cafeteria area, as it is the most in need. Our goal is to continue work at this kindergarten once we complete the kitchen and cafeteria renovations.

Region Lori
City / Village Vanadzor
Start Date May 5, 2015
End Date July 20, 2015
$10,663 raised of $7,500 goal

The Need

Studies show that attending kindergarten is important to students’ success in higher education, as well as for their future success. Renovations to the building will provide them with a safe and warm environment in which to begin their education.

Short Term Impact

The short-term impact of this project will be a new kitchen and cafeteria including new paint, floorings, doors, windows, appliances and furniture. All materials will be purchased in Armenia, thus providing a boost to the local economy. In addition, local residents will be hired whenever possible to complete the construction work, thus providing them with temporary jobs.

Long Term Impact

In the long term, the success of this project will provide a proper facility for current and future young children from Taron II to attend and start their educational journeys.

Sponsors Benefits

Your donation to sponsor the kindergarten renovation in Taron II will be recognized on a plaque in the kindergarten, on The Paros Foundation website and in appropriate press related to this important project. The Paros Foundation will happily arrange a visit to the kindergarten in Taron II when you are in Armenia.
