Armenian President called on Armenians around the world to actively  participate in fundraising for the needs of border communities

ArmInfo. The Hayastan All-Armenian Fund has initiated a pan- Armenian fundraising campaign for the implementation of the Empowering Remote Border Communities Program, aimed at solving the most acute socio-economic problems of border communities. In this regard, the President of the Republic of  Armenia, Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the Hayastan  All-Armenian Fund Armen Sarkissian made an appeal.

As reported by the press service of the RA President, in his address  Armen Sarkissian noted that the recent hostilities on the  Armenian-Azerbaijani state border again prompt everyone to unite  around the Motherland, to concentrate efforts on its protection and  strengthening. The President stressed that, being the target of  aggressive actions for decades, the residents of Armenia's border  communities stand firm on their land and "have become our staunch  border guards." "The border settlements are of strategic importance  for the security of Armenia and Artsakh, therefore, security,  economic and social assistance to these communities is a national  priority," the President said.

He called on all statesmen, not indifferent leaders, parties,  organizations and individuals in Armenia, members of the Board of  Trustees of the Hayastan All-Armenian Fund to direct all their  potential to fundraising using the capabilities of the Fund.

Money transfers can be made through the website of the Hayastan  All-Armenian Fund www.himnadram.org through a special platform  created for this initiative or bank accounts, as well as by  contacting representatives of the Fund's local organizations in  Diaspora organizations to transfer funds to the Fund through these  channels. "The homeland begins with border communities. Today,  residents of border communities need our support as a united  pan-Armenian family. Let's strengthen our border communities through  joint efforts," Armen Sarkissian said.

It should be reminded that on July 20, the Hayastan All-Armenian Fund  announced the start of fundraising to strengthen the border  communities. "We will not be broken, we will not surrender, this is  our home, our land, our age-old right. They destroy, we build," the  Fund said in a statement. The report also noted that the border  communities are of strategic importance for the security of Armenia  and Artsakh, therefore, economic and social assistance to these  communities is a national priority. The entire amount raised will be  targeted to address the most pressing socio-economic problems of  border communities, starting with the reconstruction of damaged  houses, providing communities with renewable energy and drinking  water, providing social assistance to affected communities,  strengthening hospitals, to providing schoolchildren with the  necessary tools for distance education. All the necessary information  is posted on the official website of the Fund.
