Viva Cell-MTS company invested 333 million AMD on solution of housing  problems of 135 families during 5 years 

ArmInfo.The housing project financed by VivaCell-MTS and implemented by "Fuller Center for Housing" Armenia has solved an important problem in 5 years seeking to improve the life quality of vulnerable families and to contribute  to the poverty reduction in the country. From this perspective, the  project has a strategic importance for the development of our  country.

According to the source, The partnering organizations paid a regular  visit to Kotayk region. Three families celebrated housewarming in  Geghashen and Kamaris communities: construction of one half- built  house has been completed, and two houses have been renovated.  Altogether, six families have benefited from the housing project in  Kotayk region. 

The positive impact of the project is seen in its results - in 5  years 135 families, 677 people, were provided with decent housing  conditions. Over AMD 333 mln. has been invested by VivaCell-MTS for  the implementation of the project.

The most important aspect of the project, the moral and psychological  one, is the establishment of trust in the future of the country.  One  of the main reasons for emigration is the inability to create a  better standard of living in one's own country. When the  psychological problem is overcome, the family prefers to stay and  live in their Homeland. The evaluation of the project has shown that  none of the families assisted through the project emigrated from  Armenia.

The decent housing conditions also help the families to change their  lifestyle and to provide a more secure environment for raising their  children.

''More than 15 years we have been dreaming of having our home. Today  our happiness is doubled as we welcome in our home those people who  have made our happiness possible,'' said the mother of Vardanyan  family Kristine.

"Let's try to assess this program together. If we manage to solve the  problems of just one person, make his belief stronger, and see his  decision to stay in the homeland, then we can say with confidence  that this program is important and justified. We share everyone's  happiness. We are proud that our strategy has results and encourages  society, our employees and other organizations operating in our  country.  For more than 11 years we have been guided by this  principle and strive to stay committed," says VivaCell-MTS General  Manager Ralph Yirikian.

"In addition to the strategic importance of the project towards  family preservence, poverty and emigration reduction, this  partnership also has praiseworthy impact on community development.   Throughout the whole period of the five-year-partnership,  VivaCell-MTS has never limited its assistance to financial  investment; through the highest sense of corporate social  responsibility VivaCell-MTS regularly participates in the  construction of the houses," said 'Fuller Center for Housing" Armenia  President Ashot Yeghiazaryan.
