OREANDA-NEWS. July 21, 2008. As a socially-responsible company, VivaCell continues on implementing its large-scale programs   having long-term positive impact on the Armenian society, with special focus on improving the quality of life of people living in the regions of Armenia.
 
Based on the evaluation of needs in the area of regional infrastructure and especially by taking into account the deterioration of key infrastructure elements such as irrigation and gas supply in Gegharkunik, a region that faces a lot of complex challenges while having limited resources in the hand, VivaCell has made a social investment in the gasification and irrigation of two rural communities of Gegharquniq region - Lichq and Madina.
 
Disbak district of the village of Lichk has only five years of history, and it was the only district lacking natural gas infrastructure. For four years the population was waiting for the solution of the problem. Finally, thanks to VivaCell’s AMD 8 million drams of social investment, natural gas is now made available to 80 families of the village via a 1,200 meters long pipeline.
 
VivaCell also extended its all-reaching hand to help address the problem of the lack of reliable irrigation infrastructure in the village of Madina and other villages nearby. Here the company allocated AMD 9 million for the complete renovation of a 20 km long irrigation water supply network thanks to which the water passing through Madina now reaches Verin Getashen and Lichk villages to irrigate 15 hectares of productive lands.
