ArmInfo. The Russian Humanitarian Mission (RHM) in Armenia announces that it has completed construction of a kindergarten in the village of Fioletovo in the Lori region and has begun installing a greenhouse for School No. 17 in Yerevan.
According to the mission, the RHM team recently completed another working visit to Armenia, during which they inspected the construction of a kindergarten in the village of Fioletovo in the Lori region and signed an agreement to build another facility - a greenhouse for Specialized School No. 17 in Yerevan. It is noted that teachers from Yerevan approached RHM with a request to equip an indoor space for growing plants. Founded in 1972, School No. 17 for children with disabilities remains the only institution of its kind in the South Caucasus. Currently, 130 children with disabilities are enrolled there. A modern 100-square-meter greenhouse will provide another space for lessons, and thanks to continuous heating and lighting, gardening will be possible year-round. Construction of the new greenhouse is scheduled for completion within two months.
It is also noted that the foundation of the new kindergarten-the first in the village-for 50 children was laid last summer, and the facility is currently 70% complete. "Right now, workers are installing the roof, finishing the wall cladding, and preparing the interior for finishing work," the statement reads. According to Alexey Chichov, head of the Molokan community, the opening of the kindergarten is eagerly awaited not only by preschoolers but also by their parents. This will give adults-especially mothers and grandmothers-the opportunity to return to work, devoting more time to their private farms, or raising their youngest children. Despite the overall decline in birth rates, Molokan families, who have lived in Fioletovo for over a century and a half, maintain the tradition of having many children.
The infrastructure projects are being implemented by the Russian Humanitarian Mission as part of the "Russia is with You" program under the auspices of Rossotrudnichestvo, with the support of Russian business partners.
