The Hayastan All Armenian Fund began construction of a new water network in Dzoramut, a border village in Armenia’s northern Region of Lori. The project is financed by the fund’s French affiliate. Dzoramut has a population of 310, many of whom are resettled refugees. As in most communities in the area, animal husbandry and agriculture are the main occupations of the village. Dzoramut Mayor Ararat Pnjoyan said that while the village has experienced continued growth in recent years, its crumbling water system has increasingly fallen short of providing residents with an adequate supply of water. The new network will not only meet the present water demand for Dzoramut’s 120 households, but accommodate future growth as well. Commenting on the Hayastan All-Armenian Fund project, Ara Vardanyan, the fund’s acting executive director, said, “Providing Dzoramut with a reliable and adequate supply of water is of vital importance, in terms of easing the residents’ daily struggles and thereby helping secure the community’s future development.”
