Escalation of the conflict in April 2016 forced residents of the heavily affected Talish village in Nagorno-Karabakh to flee to a safer place. For some, Alashan, an area of former Soviet pioneer camp became the new home.
The ICRC Mission in Nagorno-Karabakh has been working continuously to respond to people's needs, which resulted from the escalation. In Alashan, we supported 18 families to start vegetable production. We provided seeds, fencing materials and rehabilitated the water supply network thus helping them start cultivating own gardens.
Here in Alashan, they gradually found a way to overcome challenges and feeling of stagnation, and to improve the well-being. Most importantly, these people found a reason to revive the spirit of community.
