After a long day of janitorial work at the local music
school, Geghanush can finally return home.
As she steps inside her front door, the sole of her shoe makes contact
with freshly installed tile. In addition
to the tiling, the renovation included a new bathroom, foyer walls, the two
bedrooms shared by the family of seven.
As we made our way into the living room, we found Mane, age 4, hiding
under a table. What wasn’t hiding was
the joy and satisfaction on the faces of the Babayan family about the first
major upgrade to their house since 1985. The monthly earnings of Geghanush and
her husband, Armen, were hardly enough to make both ends meet. Thanks to Habitat for Humanity, the family
has improved the house’s interiors and will begin work on the roof in the
spring.
This blog aims to feature Habitat Armenia's solutions to address housing needs of low-income families in Armenia through Housing Micro-finance projects.

In the first section you can see how and where your contribution was used and the difference it made.
