VivaCell-MTS’ financial support of about AMD50 million helps rennovate
the kindergarten premise and provide it with a local heating system

Intended for 120 children, in the Soviet times the kindergarten
operated in its full capacity. However, throughout the 40 years
since its construction the building underwent only some repair, which
was not sufficient to withstand the wear-out of the years. Parents
were often forced to send their children to a farther kindergarten
with better conditions. The problem is solved now. Owing to the
substantial rennovation with VivaCell-MTS financial support of about
AMD 50 million the building is also equipped with a local heating
system. The municipality of Charentsavan has undertaken the provision
of furniture and other necessities.

"The occasions initiating such projects may vary, but the aim is always
the same – the well-being of the children. In the first days of the
Company’s inception, when we had declared of our commitment to take
care of the society parallel to developing our business, and to serve
a model for others, there were many, which were sceptical about the
feasiblity of our intentions. However, today there are many, who may
confirm VivaCell-MTS was right in its forecasts. The example proved to
be a good one and the number of initiatives like those of VivaCell-MTS
now grow rapidly. We are happy and glad to know that and hope to
see the readiness to care for all vulnerable groups of our society
replicated," underlined VivaCell-MTS General Manager Ralph Yirikian.

Charentsavan has a population in about 30,000. At the moment only
five of the nine kindergartens operate in the town. The "Hekiat"
can provide places for children from a district with 5,000 residents.

However, after the rennovation it is anticipated to be able to host
also kids from the neighboring district.

The 3 playgrounds in the town reconstructed two years ago with
VivaCell-MTS’ help provide proper conditions for the next generation.
