Project results:

In the course of this project, 24 devices for purifying air and water were installed, as well as 3 medical health-improvement apparatuses: ultrasonic and compressor nebulizers and an appliance for preparing oxygen cocktails. Solar lamps were also installed in the bedrooms.
A universal water treatment system Aquafor Viking was installed in the kindergarten’s kitchen.
The phytoncide houseplants that were placed in the playrooms of the 4 groups of the kindergarten produced results as early as in just several months: the number of colds among the children dropped by 1.5-2 times; over 100 children benefited from these activities. In addition, all the pre-schoolers and teachers are undertaking treatment courses with herbal teas.
The teachers of the kindergarten conducted a seminar for disseminating the experience of the project “We Will Grow Up Healthy” among 28 kindergartens of the city.
