Rebuilding Communities:

 A Home and Livelihood Initiative for Forcibly

Displaced Armenians from Artsakh.

The Rebuilding Communities project is a comprehensive initiative designed to provide support and
opportunities for forcibly displaced Armenians from Artsakh. This project aims to empower
Families with housing, sustainable livelihoods, energy independence, and essential furnishings, with
the overarching objective of preserving, rebuilding, and strengthening their communities.

Housing Support

Families will be offered the opportunity to receive homes free of charge,

enabling them to enjoy all the rights and privileges of homeownership, except for the option to sell or rent out the property.

Village Relocation

The project will involve the purchase of properties in existing villages where scalability is feasible, with an average budget of $25,000 per

home. This approach ensures that families can stay with their community, support each other, and not lose their culture and traditions. 

Economic Empowerment

Livestock Assistance: Families with prior experience in animal husbandry will be supported in acquiring livestock, offering them a sustainable source of income and food.

Tools & Training: Displaced individuals engaged in various crafts (e.g., mechanics, carpentry, tailoring) will receive assistance to obtain essential tools, enabling them to reestablish their livelihoods and contribute to their communities.

Energy Independence

Solar water heaters will be installed. This not only reduces energy costs but also contributes to energy independence. Past projects in Artsakh have successfully installed 50 solar water heaters for larger families, with the cost ranging from $800 to $1150 depending on the units size.

Essential Furnishings

Families will receive essential household items, including refrigerators, stoves, beds, washing machines, and furniture.

The "Rebuilding Communities" project seeks to offer hope and stability to forcibly displaced Armenians from

Artsakh by addressing their housing, economic, energy, and furnishing needs. This comprehensive

approach aims to not only alleviate immediate hardships but also to empower individuals to rebuild

their lives, contribute to their communities, and foster long-term sustainability.
