FOA funded and completed couple of projects in the village of Armavir. See the project list and pictures below. THE TOTAL COST IS $35,700.
Project #167; Cost $30,700: In 2019 FOA renovated the 2nd building of Kindergarten #8. This building is named in the Memory of PAKRAT ASIKIAN.
Project #49; Cost $5,000: In 2013, FOA provided $500 cash directly to 10 farmers who needed the money to keep his family alive while formulating his next move to grow new crop. The hail storm had destroyed all the crops in the region. Farmers had lost their only source of income. The situation is even worse, considering the fact that they had borrowed money to purchase farm equipment and seeds, and they were counting on the harvest to pay off their loans. The Government helped them by providing low cost seeds and delays in loan repayments.
