The Charity Foundation “Stabilization Support Services” team continues to make light and medium repairs to housing damaged by Russian aggression as part of the CARE Ukraine Winterisation and Resilience Program.
We are now beginning repairs in another Collective Center in Kryvyi Rih. The CC is located in a building originally constructed in 1957 as a dormitory for factory workers. Later, the walls between the rooms were removed and it was converted into an evening school. Currently, 28 people live here, but the building can accommodate more. However, it has been vacant for almost a year and needs to be renovated by rebuilding the walls between the rooms and replacing the windows.
“We want to renovate the third floor so that people can live there too. It has small rooms for four people. The building was built in the 50s, and that was the last time repairs were made. There are large gaps between the doors and no thermal insulation,” says Nadiya Aleksandrova, regional coordinator of the Foundation. We will replace the windows and doors there.
This is the third CCP that the Charitable Foundation “Stabilization Support Services” is helping to repair in Kryvyi Rih.
One is located on the premises of the former territorial center, now home to single elderly people. As part of the project, our team renovated a room for storing ready-to-eat food and washing dishes.
The second CC is located on the premises of a former kindergarten. It is used by people leaving dangerous regions. About 60,000 people have passed through it since the beginning of the war. Some people are just passing through, but some stay there for a long time. We have repaired the floor by reworking the underlayment and replacing the linoleum.
The CARE Ukraine Winterisation and Resilience Program project is implemented by the Charity Foundation “Stabilization Support Services” with the support of the humanitarian organization CARE.Ukraine.
