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 60,000 people. CCPI has huge ambitions to grow our Day Care Centre (DCC) Building Projects and over the next two years will build 2 new Day Care Centres in Belarus in Glutsk and Buda Koshelova, using state-of-the art sustainable building technologies. Day Care Centres provide a wide range of medical, social and educational services and CCPI works 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 services provided.

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 Vesnovo 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 to several large institutions. 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. In the past few years, Vesnova has been transformed. Irish volunteer builders are in the final stages of completing improvements to the workshops, running tracks, a new gym and other sports facilities for the children and young adults who call Vesnova home.
