‘PROJECT REVIVE’: AMAA Launches Unprecedented Recovery Program for the People of Artsakh

YEREVAN  – The Armenian Missionary Association of America (AMAA) continues to advance its mission by launching two new projects in Armenia: immediate short-term and long-term support to the families forcibly displaced from Artsakh, after the September 19^th forced exodus.

Through the housing and livelihood programs of ‘Project Revive’, AMAA aims to support displaced families to restore their normal lives and meet their long-term needs.

For this purpose, the program plans to support Artsakh families who took refuge in Lori, Shirak, Tavush, Syunik, and Gegharkunik provinces with:

• compensation for house rents
• repairs
• providing up to 10 residential houses to the most vulnerable families, in order to form a centralized community in a selected village
• training aimed at improving living conditions
• providing property or equipment
• establishing small businesses
• support for job placement
• enhancing agricultural development
• providing psychological services
• referral to other structures according to the need

Within the framework of the one-time support program, the families who took refuge in Ararat, Kotayk, Aragatsotn, Armavir, Vayots Dzor provinces and Yerevan will receive financial assistance to cover their intermediate needs.
