Background Information and Rationale
Goal: The overall objective of this proposal is to provide emergency relief to the most vulnerable people living in temporary shelters in Gyumri, Vanadzor, Tashir , Gavar and Artashat.
Specific Objectives:
To achieve the overall objective, the following measures are suggested:
- Urgent provision of firewood to families who cannot afford electric or gas heating.. Support the most vulnerable families (about 400 beneficiaries) through paying their gas or electric bills as many of them have electric or gas heating and couldn’t afford to pay off their bills for heating.
2.Provision of medicaments to vulnerable families. Many vulnerable families have been forced to dedicate their limited funds for the procurement of medicaments and cannot afford to pay other bills.
3.Emergency assistance in basic food and hygienic items for the most vulnerable people living in temporary shelters.
- Initiate joint actions with local authorities to raise the social responsibility of governmental bodies and the public as a whole.
The project is intended to cover the heating expenses of 400 disabled and lonely elderly living in Gyumri, Gavar, Vanadzor , Ararat and Tashir cities by paying their electricity bills, gas bills and in rare cases buying wood in the amount of 100 EUROs. This will help to reduce the risk for frequent diseases (as a result of cold weather) among 400 beneficiary elderly thus decreasing the rate of the mortality among them.
Project implementation – 5 months
