    The Hayastan All-Armenian Fund in October 2009 has launched
    the construction of a drinking-water network in Sos, a village
    in Artsakh's Martuni Region, as well as the refurbishment of the
    community's broken water reservoir. The project is co-sponsored by the
    "Hayastan" All-Armenian Fund's French affiliate and the NKR government.

    "At the center of our humanitarian action is the well being of the
    Artsakh population, with special emphasize on children-related and
    water supply projects," comments Pierre Terzian, chairman of the
    "Hayastan" All-Armenian Fund French affiliate.

    The construction of the 7.6-kilometer internal water-distribution
    network is complete already. The next phase of the project which will
    start in February 2010 comprises the renovation of the main water
    reservoir and construction of the smaller distribution reservoirs.

    "Unfortunately numerous rural communities throughout Artsakh and
    Armenia still lack reliable access to water. We are extremely gratified
    that, with the project in Sos, yet another community will have resolved
    its water crisis", - said Ara Vardanyan, executive director of the
    Hayastan All-Armenian Fund.

    According to Igor Ghahramyan, mayor of Sos, the residents of the
    ancient village obtain much of their water supply from a single local
    well, which is in grave disrepair and the water of which is not safe
    for drinking. "Water is the most vital element connecting villagers
    to the land, and only after solving the water problem they can begin
    to address other issues facing the community", - Ghahramyan says.

    In 2009 it completed water-network projects in the villages of
    Berdashen and Spitakashen.

    Currently the fund is implementing school-building initiatives in
    the communities of Gishi and Chartar, and in the summer of 2009 it
    completed the construction of a new school in Spitakashen.
