International partners repaired two more shelters in Mykolaiv

On October 25, in Mykolaiv, two new renovated shelters were shown in one of the lyceums of the Korabelnyy district.

The international fund UNICEF helped the city with the arrangement of warehouses, the correspondent of «NikVesti» reports.

Each shelter is designed for 60 people, which fully meets the needs of the educational institution. They are equipped with everything necessary for a comfortable stay of students and employees during an air raid. One of the shelters is also equipped with an additional exit and an osmosis system.

— The Mykolaiv City Council continues cooperation with international organizations, public organizations, and today we are in one of the institutions where several organizations worked. The greatest contribution to the restoration of this institution was made by UNICEF, — said Anatolii Petrov, the vice-mayor of Mykolaiv for humanitarian issues.

According to him, with the help of the international fund, the lyceum also managed to repair the roof, sports hall, three classrooms and organize a new educational space. So, at the expense of donors, more than 35 educational institutions are planned to be restored in Mykolaiv today.

We would like to remind that educational institutions in Mykolaiv continue to set up shelters for schoolchildren for the period of the start of offline education. Journalists were shown the condition and readiness of two such shelters in Mykolaiv Lyceum and Gymnasium.

In addition, they promise to repair 23 shelters in residential buildings in Mykolaiv by the end of the year. Currently, specialists are performing work in two facilities on Tsentralnyy Avenue.

As you know, the Mykolaiv region has become one of the six regions of Ukraine with the worst shelter conditions. According to Vitalii Kim, the largest percentage of abandoned warehouses is in the regional center.

We will remind that in Mykolaiv, more than 70 million hryvnias were allocated from the city budget for the repair and equipping of shelters. However, the city budget of Mykolaiv will not receive funding from 102 million for the repair of protective structures in schools and kindergartens, which the Cabinet of Ministers has allocated for the Mykolaiv region.

It was also reported that as of October 2023, there is no shelter at the Central City Stadium of Mykolaiv due to constant changes in state building regulations. Mayor Oleksandr Sienkevych emphasized their installation earlier.
