On October 15the USAID-funded Small Scale Infrastructure Program
(SSIP), implemented by Cooperative Housing Foundation International
(CHF) and its partner Shen NGO, marked the renovation of the Nor
Edesia Community Center in the Aragastotn region.

Mayor of Nor Edesia Vahan Abgaryan, Director of Shen NGO Hayk Minasyan,
CHF/Armenia Country Director Zoran Radic, representatives of the USAID
Mission, implementing partners and the village community participated
in the event.
The community center will host an internet center equipped by Shen
NGO in cooperation with Orange Armenia. Two rooms in the community
center will also be given out for rent to the offices of the community
Water Users Association and local HayPost, which will help generate
revenues for the municipality to cover facility maintenance costs,
U.S. Embassy reported.
The USAID/Armenia Deputy Mission director noted that apart from the
Nor Edesia community center renovation project, USAID's efforts in
Aragatsotn also include the renovation of the Mastara kindergarten,
pre schools in Parpi and Tsakhkahovit, and computer clubs in Ashnak
and Katnaghbyur.
On a country-wide scale, by December 2010 the program expects to
complete 48 infrastructure projects that will benefit about 38,000
people and will provide 800 Armenians with short-term employment. Over
140 persons will get permanent employment at the facilitites
rehabilitated through SSIP.
