VivaCell-MTS, Fuller Center help reconstruct rural community houses

This New Year will have different shades of colors for 40 families owing to the partnership between VivaCell-MTS and Fuller Center for Housing Armenia.

The lives of 219 people have changed for the better; 40 families have completed construction of their half-built houses or renovated the roofs to celebrate the New Year in decent housing conditions.

VivaCell-MTS General Manager Ralph Yirikian, and the Fuller Center for Housing Armenia president Ashot Yeghiazaryan visited the Hayrapetyan family in Pokr Vedi village of Ararat province, where construction works were performed a few months ago.

“We are looking forward to the New Year,” Vachagan, the family father said. “Our new home has brought forward new hopes and new opportunities. We can't thank you enough.”

“We are all here in Pokr Vedi on the New Year's Eve to sum up 2015 and share the joy with Hayrapetyan family, whom we helped build a house of their own,” Yirikian said.

VivaCell-MTS invested AMD100 million (AMD55 million in 2014) in the project in 2015, with Fuller Center for Housing Armenia implementing it. Through this partnership, the number of the families having their houses renovated or reconstructed will reach 93 by the end of the year.
