Armenia

The Fuller Center for Housing Armenia began its partnership with the Fuller Center in 2008. Since that time, they have served more than 400 families in 11 communities, with numerous Global Builder teams travelling there to volunteer. Propose a trip now or learn more about joining a trip on our Global Builders page.
The group is continually expanding to new regions of Armenia. The recent blessing of the Supreme Patriarch of the Armenian Church, His Holiness Karekin II, has greatly helped propel their efforts. Fuller Center Armenia also partners with many other agencies and companies.
BACKGROUND
The UNECE reported that about five percent of Armenia’s families do not have permanent housing. Many live in metal shipping containers called "domics." Many other families began building a house they were not able to finish after a sudden economic downturn hit in the 1990s and often live in the basements of such houses. Other problems often seen include absestos, leaky roofs, overcrowding, lack of sanitation and lack of heating systems. Click here to see pictures of The Fuller Center’s work in Armenia.
PLANS
GOALS
The Fuller Center of Armenia is always looking to help more people. Currently, they have offices in Yerevan and Vanadzor to facilitate the work being done in 33 communities. The choice of communities is based on need for housing as well as the willingness of the community to start a partnership.
Global Builders trips to Armenia are scheduled regularly. Please click here for more information. You may also send an e-mail to: fcarmenia@fcharmenia.org
