Building & Construction Programme
Day Care Centres
In order to make a sustainable difference to the people of Belarus, CCPI developed a community-based Day Care Centre development Programme, providing long-term social support to communities of up to 17,000 people. CCPI has huge ambitions to grow our Day Care Centre (DCC) Building Projects and going forward will build 4 Day Care Centres per year in Belarus, using state-of-the art sustainable building and energy-saving technologies. Day Care Centres provide a wide range of services and CCPI work with local communities to restore their communities and make a lasting impact on people's lives. 
Day Care Centres provide services including medical care facilities, counselling services, refuges for families in crisis, incubator units for small business development, microcredit facilities and elderly services among the many other servi
Orphanages and Institutions
As the disaster left the Belarusian economy on its knees, many orphanages and Day Care Centres were previously run in old buildings which were unsanitary and unable to provide the services for which they were built as the disaster had stretched their resources beyond their limits.
With the development of the Building Programme CCPI identified a number of orphanages and institutions in Belarus in dire need of renovations and upgrading of facilities, in particular Vesnova Children's Mental Asylum which is one of CCPI's flagship building programmes. Many Irish builders, working alongside Belarusian workers give of their free time to undertake building and refurbishment works across . This initiative is seen as one of the most immediate and practical ways to improve the quality of life of the most needy of children-those whose lives are spent in orphanages.
Sustainable Agricultural Projects
CCPI is also working very closely with a well-recognised UN Programme ie CORE to develop sustainable agricultural projects in the stricken regions of Belarus. Two projects which the organisation is currently supporting include 'Polnya Chasa' which consists of growing greenhouse vegetables in a controlled and clean environment and breeding rabbit cubs with the help of new agricultural innovation techniques; and the second project, 'Nutritive Plants against Radiation', involves the cultivation of nutritive plants such as aronia, currants, barberry, sea-buckthorn etc. to eliminate long-living radioisotopes from the human body, as well as the creation of mini-nurseries in 26 settlements in the Bragin region of Belarus.
