IMPROVED EDUCATIONAL AND CARE CONDITIONS CREATED FOR CHILDREN OF SEVAN
KINDERGARTEN No4
SEVAN, APRIL 9, NOYAN TAPAN. The official opening ceremony of Galik
kindergarten No4 in Sevan, Gegharkunik marz, took place. The
kindergarten was renovated through the U.S. Embassy and USAID-funded
Community Self-Help Fund (CSHF) program, which is implemented by Save
the Children. Representatives of the US Embassy, USAID, Save the
Children, Gegharkunik Marzpetaran, Sevan local government and the
community participated in the event.
According to the information submitted to Noyan Tapan, the roof,
kitchen, playrooms and sleeping rooms of the building were renovated,
windows were glazed, and the heating system was fully replaced. The
total cost of the project was USD 30,000 of which USD 19,300 was
provided by the Community Self-Help Fund, while USD 10,700 (about
35.5% of the project cost) was contributed by Sevan community in form
of labor and construction materials.
According to the same source, the Galik kindergarten built in 1976 did
not function from 1994 because of the building’s deteriorated state
and lack of necessary conditions for kindergarten’s operations. In
1999 given the necessity of creating conditions for the pre-school age
children’s care and education, the town municipality decided to
re-open the kindergarten, and some renovation was performed.
