Problem
Kindergarten in Okhtyrka was damaged in May 2022 by a Russian attack. The local resistance to Russian attacks was very strong; the city defended itself for a long time, and it was even honored with the status of a Hero City. However, as a result of the long fights, the number of damaged buildings in the municipality is very high.
This kindergarten is one of them. It provided education for over 160 children, including children with disabilities.
How to help?
The municipality has already made some basic repairs, but the building requires further reconstruction to function as it once did. The municipality has completely replaced the roof, and we are now working to make the kindergarten energy independent.
About the building: Kindergarten “Kazka” (A Fairytale), 2153 square meters, 1.5 hectares. Over 160 children – 11 age groups (1.3-8 years old), including five groups of inclusive education for children with disabilities. 61 employees. Due to the lack of a roof, they are forced to study online, although children with special needs are required for special care.
How it was damaged: 05/17/2022, due to a rocket attack, debris and an explosive wave damaged the facade, roof and windows, the doors were knocked out. The Arche nova organization replaced 129 windows and 12 doors. Insulation of the facade and roof, and replacement of the roof is needed.
Now the Greenpeace Ukraine team is working on installing a solar power plant in the kindergarten.
