Over 800 children on the left bank of the Nistru River will get access to education in modern and safe conditions due to the European Union’s financial support for renovating the schools in Nezavertailovca, Hlinaia and Chitcani villages through the UNDP-implemented “Support to Confidence Building Measures” Program, IPN reports.
According to a press release of UNDP, refurbishment of the school and kindergarten building in Nezavertailovca village are in full swing. The building has seen thousands of kids but no extensive repair works have been carried out since it was put into commission 52 years ago, in 1964. Because of the obsolete heating system, the education process here became a challenge for about 300 students and teachers. Low temperatures and mold were affecting their health. Engineers already have installed a new heating system. The building with the festivity hall and gym is almost refurbished.
In Hlinaia, a village with a population of 5,000 people, the local school is also renovated with the European financial support. The children here are looking forward to explore again the gym-slash-events hall. A third school currently undergoing renovation on the Nistru’s left bank is in Chitcani village. The EU has granted funding worth up to €150,000 to renovate each school.
Overall, through the UNDP-implemented “Support to Confidence Building Measures” Program, the EU has financed 70 social infrastructure buildings on both banks.
