To ensure the safety of children, shelters continue to be installed in kindergartens across Mykolaiv. A recently renovated protective shelter was completed at one of the institutions in the Inhulskyi district.
The project was implemented by the charitable organization SavED with the support of Denmark. The LEGO Foundation also joined the initiative.
The shelter was designed to be comfortable and engaging for children. It includes play zones, a wide variety of toys and games, and sports equipment. A projector was installed to show educational videos, and cheerful murals were painted on the walls to create a joyful atmosphere.
Most importantly, the shelter meets all safety standards. It is not only cozy and vibrant, but also fully secure. It is equipped with a ventilation system, fire alarm, and backup power supply.
Additionally, the shelter includes two restrooms with sinks, one of which is adapted for children with special educational needs. Beds were also installed so that children can rest comfortably when needed.
The total area of the shelter is 270 square meters and can accommodate up to 275 people at once.
According to Hanna Novosad, co-founder of SavED, equipping educational institutions with shelters is one of the organization’s top priorities. Several protective facilities in Mykolaiv have already been renovated, and the team continues this important work.
Deputy Mayor Anatolii Petrov thanked the donors and everyone who contributed to the project.
“It is very important for us that all educational institutions in Mykolaiv have shelters. We are grateful to our partners for helping us achieve this goal. The shelter we visited today is very well done. I thank our friends for their support,” said Anatolii Petrov.
It is worth noting that 83 shelters have already been renovated in Mykolaiv’s educational institutions: 36 in kindergartens, 43 in schools, and 4 in out-of-school education centers. Renovation works are currently ongoing in 12 more institutions.
