Project Goal
To renovate and refurbish the common space / recreation room at FAR’s Vanadzor Old Age Home (VOAH).
Project Background
The living room is the heart of the home! Same goes for the Vanadzor Old Age Home, where dozens of elderly residents reside full time.
We are proud to support our elders by renovating their large living room where they spend time together reading, socializing, exercising, watching movies, and hosting guests.
Run by FAR, VOAH is Armenia’s most vital long-term care institution and the only one that provides truly dignified care for elderly individuals who lack family support or are unable to care for themselves. Many of the residents have endured war, displacement, poverty, and isolation. For these individuals, VOAH is not simply a facility, but their permanent home and the place where they belong.
This renovation reaffirms FAR’s commitment to honoring those who came before us and ensuring that every elder can live their later years with dignity, comfort, and security.
