Artsakh Relief Aid
The “Hearths of Hope” Program, initiated by the Armenian Relief Society in January 2024, is dedicated to offering homes to Artsakh families who have been displaced due to Azerbaijani attacks. Through this program, two houses were purchased in Akhourik Village, Shirak Region. The houses are currently undergoing renovations, including installing sewer systems or septic tanks and digging new wells to enhance the overall infrastructure.
In response to the dire circumstances our compatriots faced a year ago, when they were forced to leave behind their belongings, livelihoods, and indigenous lands, the ARS Eastern USA is still collecting funds because our compatriots continue to face harsh realities, and this initiative aims to provide ongoing assistance and support as they rebuild their lives.
On this Armenian Independence Day, our hearts are heavy as we reflect upon the painful reality of what our brothers and sisters are enduring in Artsakh.
The painful developments of the last few days stands as a stark reminder of the world's inaction in the face of immense suffering endured by Armenians in the region. As we commemorate this day, we can't help but recall the poignant phrase, "Never Again," echoing from stages and platforms across the world in reference to past atrocities, like the Armenian Genocide. Yet, the harsh reality is that when Armenians in Artsakh faced the threat of ethnic cleansing, the world remained largely silent.
In response to the dire circumstances faced by our compatriots, who are leaving behind their belongings, livelihoods, and indigenous lands, the ARS Eastern USA is launching a fundraising campaign. This initiative aims to provide immediate assistance and support to those uprooted from their homes, as they embark on the difficult journey of rebuilding their lives.
