Rebuilding Chernihiv region by the FENIX Foundation
As part of a grant received from the Taipei Representative Office to assist Ukraine under the project "Creating Slovak-Ukrainian Partnerships in Infrastructure Reconstruction, Humanitarian Aid, and Civil Society Development," from March to October 2024, we implemented the project "Reconstruction of Chernihiv Region" by the "Phoenix" Foundation."
According to the project, major renovations were carried out using energy-saving technologies and taking into account the inclusivity of damaged buildings, including two Youth Centers and the building of the Rescue Service, as well as ongoing repairs to the School and Hospital, and renovation of the bomb shelter at the Lyceum. All facilities are located in the Chernihiv region. For security reasons, we cannot specify the exact locations of the reconstructed objects at this time.
Building of the Rescue Service
In the building of the Rescue Service, the building was fully insulated, the roof, windows, entrance, and internal doors were replaced, heating, electricity, and ventilation systems were installed, and internal and external water supply and sewage networks were laid. Ceilings and floors were replaced, and internal and external walls were finished, along with a complete update of the entrance area and landscaping of the surrounding territory. The premises are fully ready for further furnishing and provide comfortable conditions for employees. Additionally, the building houses a "Point of Unbreakability," which has also been renovated for the comfort of residents during power outages.
Youth Centers
In the Youth Centers, the following works were performed: the building was fully insulated, the roof, entrance, and internal doors were replaced, heating and electricity systems were installed, internal water supply and sewage networks were laid and connected to external systems, ceilings and floors were replaced, and internal and external walls were finished. Entrances were arranged, and walkways were concreted. The Youth Centers are fully prepared for further furnishing and provision of cultural services for youth.
Hospital building
In the Hospital building, windows and window sills were also replaced with custom sizes, and internal and external insulation was installed, along with the renovation of an additional entrance, including a new porch, external water drainage from the roof, and partial repairs to external walls damaged by shelling. As a result, the hospital has more comfortable conditions for doctors and patients, along with reduced heating costs.
Shelter of the lyceum
In the lyceum, we carried out ongoing repairs to the youth center in the shelter. Internal waterproofing of the external walls and floor was completed, a ventilation system was installed, walls in the shelter were finished, and the floor was cemented with a leveling layer. This will provide youth with a renovated space for organizing activities during air raid alerts.
Funding for this project has been provided by Slovak foundations - Open Society Foundation Bratislava and Pontis Foundation - thanks to the generous support of the Taipei Representative Office in Slovakia.
