The government has approved funding for 60 new initiatives aimed at creating shelters in educational institutions, with 6 projects being implemented in the Odesa region.

Funds are primarily directed to communities facing high security risks, where the presence of shelters is crucial.

The first shelters will be constructed in the schools of Kodym, Lyman, Mayaky (two facilities), Vygodianska, and Kujalnytska communities.

The selection of projects was conducted via the electronic platform DREAM, which also enables tracking of the entire construction and reporting process.

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

We expect the approval of an additional 50 projects, agreed upon by the Ministry of Education and Science. This includes funding for three bomb shelters in Dobroslav, Bilhorod-Dnistrovskyi, and Molohiv communities, as well as the inclusion of a shelter for a school in Vylkivska TG.

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