2017-09-30

The contractors for the construction of an educational center and a new extension building of the Iztok Healthcare Center in Stolipinovo have been selected. The biggest Roma neighborhood in Bulgaria with its fast growing population is in a huge need of new educational and healthcare infrastructure.

The educational center is to be housed in a multifunctional building with three premises, one of which will be used for sports activities and other public gatherings. The building provides for organization of extracurricular activities, joint activities for both children and parents and community meetings. A library will be set up as part of the educational center and public readings will be organized with the participation of both parents and children from the local primary schools “Kiril Nektariev”and “Nayden Gerov”.

The medical offices for a general practitioner, gynecologist and pediatrician will be situated in the new extension building of the Iztok Healthcare Center. The health mediator already employed under the project will have an office in this building as well. The increase of the number of medical consultations in Stolipinovo is foreseen under the project; this will include the consultations conducted by general practitioner, pediatrician and gynecologist as well as carrying out of vaccinations.

Refurbishment of “Alen Mak” Kindergarten in village Zvezdets

2016-09-15

Since September 2016, 25 children visit the fully refurbished full-day kindergarten “Alen Mak” in village Zvezdets. The facility is a one-storey building with partial ground-level space, of total area 327 sq.m.

The building was heat-proofed, the roof was replaced and a new air- and water heating system was installed. Playgrounds were organized with up-to-date playing equipment, and the area around the kindergarten was landscaped. The kindergarten has new furniture: children's beds, sideboards, bookcases, tables, chairs and benches.

Within the frame of the project we planned to repair the kindergarten in village Zvezdets but the activities involved virtually amounted to a newbuilding, given the scope of the work involved: new roofing, new steel plate to serve as foundation of the structure, repaired heating installation. The old building that was inacceptable as a facility intended to host and educate children 5 – 6 years old was, in fact, replaced by a new modern kindergarten.

A new building for “Hristo Botev” Primary School in Burgas

2016-09-30

As of 2016/2017 school year, 90 children of 5 and 6 years old and 55 children of 7 and 8 years old will be able to attend the full-day activities organized in the newly built annexe, intended for preschool and elementary-school classes in “Hristo Botev” Primary School in Pobeda neighbourhood in Burgas. The neighbourhood has never had a kindergarten facility until now and the rooms for extracurricular activities for pupils from the first school grades have been insufficient.

The building is of total area of 870.7 sq.m. The first floor hosts classrooms and a gym, which the school has never had until now. The second floor hosts the rooms for the preparatory-school groups, a medical office and teaching-consultancy room, speech-therapist and psychologist offices and a room for work with parents.

The members of the project team visited 150 families of Roma and Turkish origin, to motivate them to send their children to school.
