On the 31 August water and sanitary project came to the end. It was realised by Polish Humanitarian Organisation (PHO) in Grozny. It was financed with funds donated by European Comission of Humanitarian Aid (ECHO). The aim of the project was to improve sanitary conditions in medical buildings and educational establishments.

About 9000 beneficiaries profited from the latest water and sanitary project realised by PHO in Chechnya. Within the project a sewerage system was repaired, 15 lavatories were built, 23 sinks installed and a basement in the hopital number 4 in Grozny was cleaned up. Before all patients from hospitals which received help had to use toilets placed outside of the buildings. Patients and medical staff could not use bathrooms or get ready for operations in proper conditions.

Within the sanitarny project a water system and a water intake were built outside the buildings of 4 schools and 1 kinder-garden. A facility for medical waste combustion was built in the hospotal number 1 in the town of Argun.

When realising each project PHO tries to work with adults and children (mainly with teachers and students) making them aware of how important obeying higienic rules is and what natural environment means. In April and May 207 teachers from 6 districts in Chechnya were trained. The Foundation workers also organised a drawing competition for younger students from schools in Grozny. At the end of the competition an exibition of children's work was presented together with an atristic performance.

It has been a partner of PHO in Chechnya for many years. The Foundation paid also for wastes managment trainings for 3 specialists and 2 workers dealing with accountancy in local departments of the enterprise.
