Restoration of the roof of a village school.
The Makariv Zabuyansky Lyceum project meets the urgent need for roof renovation of a school in the Makariv Hromada. The roof of the school suffered a direct hit during Russian aerial bombardments on April 1, 2022, causing extensive damage, including blown-out windows. With the help of local authorities and other generous donors, initial recovery measures were taken, including temporarily covering the roof and repairing windows. These efforts were aimed at ensuring that the school could remain operational.
However, the leaking and destabilized roof posed a significant safety problem. Urgent repairs were imperative to maintain the functionality of the school, as it played a crucial role in enabling families with children in the Makariv Hromada to remain in the area or in facilitating the return of Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) ) and refugees to their homes.
Status:
Completed (July-September 2023)
Financial information:
- ODU contribution: EURO 49,000 (Source: Oxfam)
- Local authorities and other donors: EURO 50,000
Target group and results:
The successful completion of the roof renovation project will ensure that all 118 schoolchildren currently studying at the Zabuyansky Lyceum can continue their classes without interruption. In addition, 18 patients receiving treatment in a small medical and social care center on the school grounds can do so in a secure environment.
Moreover, the impact of the project extends beyond the present. The number of schoolchildren returning to school is expected to grow as families, both displaced and refugees, return to their homes. The school has a total capacity for 250 students and the restoration of the roof ensures that the school can meet the needs of the community.
