The government has approved funding for 60 projects related to the establishment of shelters in educational institutions, with 6 of them to be implemented in the Odessa region.

The funds are primarily directed to communities with high security risks – where the presence of shelters is critically essential.

The first shelters will be constructed in the schools of Kodim, Lyman, Mayaki (2 facilities), Vygodyansk and Kuyalnik communities.

Projects were selected through the electronic platform DREAM, which will also allow tracking the entire construction and reporting process.

The working group of the Odessa Regional State Administration, led by the First Deputy Head Oleksandr Kharlov, supported the applications from our region.

We expect the government to approve another 50 projects that have been agreed upon by the Ministry of Education and Science commission. This includes additional funding for the construction of 3 bomb shelters in Dobroslav, Bilhorod-Dnistrovskyi, and Molohiv communities, as well as the inclusion of funding for a shelter for a school in the Vylkivska community.

A safe educational environment is not just about comfort, but also about ensuring protection for every child and educator. We continue to work to ensure that all educational institutions in Odessa have reliable shelters!
