As part of the meeting in Zhytomyr Regional State Administration, the current and implemented projects were discussed with colleagues and the team:
The UNICEF officers saw with their own eyes the consequences of a rocket strike at school No. 25.
Opportunities to restore it were discussed.
🔹Saw the renovated shelter at school No. 28 (where UNICEF has already provided funds for ventilation repair work to ensure proper access of children to the educational process in Zhytomyr region) 🙏
🔹Visited a perinatal center with new equipment from UNICEF 
The Children’s Fund provided specialized medical care for maternity and children’s departments of the regional perinatal center in Zhytomyr, hospitals in Malyn, Brusyliv, Korostyshiv, Radomyshl, Olevsk and other cities. According to preliminary calculations, before the project is completed, more than 100,000 children and women will receive medical care in UNICEF facilities.
🔹Observe the work of the children’s spot “Spilno” in Zhytomyr
The safe and bright atmosphere of the space helps children reduce stress, cope with emotional stress and gain useful skills. What is no less important, both resettled people and local residents who needed special attention due to the war can receive meaningful consultations and help from qualified personnel.
🔹At the end, the UNICEF officers had time to chat and even draw together with teenagers in the youth center of the NGO “Institute of Creative Innovations” and visit the Forum of male and female volunteers💫
