Project of the VIVA Foundation
VIVA Sunrise
Warmth in every Home
The VIVA Sunrise Program is a social initiative aimed at improving the living conditions of displaced families from Artsakh through the introduction of modern technologies.
Program Goals
- Install over 100 solar water heaters in the homes of displaced families by the end of 2025
- Provide basic household amenities to more than 700 people, giving them access to modern and convenient solutions
- Reduce family expenses on electricity, making daily life more economical
- Raise public awareness about the importance of renewable energy sources
Why It Matters
The main goal of the project is to provide families with access to hot water by installing solar water heating systems. The program not only improves daily living conditions but also promotes energy independence and environmentally sustainable practices.
Relevance of the Project
Many families forced to leave their homes face a lack of basic amenities such as hot water, electricity, and gas in their temporary settlements in Armenia. This negatively affects their daily lives and health. Installing solar systems offers an effective, eco-friendly, and affordable solution to this problem, improving families’ quality of life while reducing dependence on costly and unsustainable energy sources.

Implementation
Installation began in November 2024, with the goal of completing 100 systems by the end of 2025
The program is being implemented in partnership with Shtigen Group, a leading company in solar technologies in Armenia, known for its expertise and high-quality standards. As the largest taxpayer in Armenia’s solar energy sector, the company handles installation, logistics, and maintenance free of charge while providing solar water heaters at cost price, allowing the program to include more families.
The VIVA Foundation selects large families from Artsakh from its list of medical beneficiaries, identifies those with the most challenging living conditions in Armenia’s regions, and carries out activities to secure project funding.
Installation began in November 2024, with the goal of completing 100 systems by the end of 2025. The process includes reinforcing roofs of old houses, installing equipment, testing, and providing maintenance services for the residents.
