Champions and Experts from over 30 countries and regions joined efforts to deliver three new toilets and washrooms to the Derbyshkinskiy Orphanage. Reusing some of the materials from the Plumbing and Heating Test Projects including the steel frames, pipes, and ceramics, they assembled the toilet and washrooms at Kazan Expo in a special Team Project on the final day of competition, ready for transportation to the Orphanage where they were installed in the days following WorldSkills Kazan 2019.
The new sanitary facilities were officially handed over to the Ministry of Building, Architecture and Housing Municipal Services of the Republic of Tatarstan, which was responsible for the selection of the Orphanage, following completion of the installation project on Thursday, 29 August. Derbyshkinskiy Orphanage, which opened in 1976, today cares for 176 special needs children and teenagers between the ages of 4–23. There are 171 staff who work at the orphanage providing rehabilitation to residents including social adaptation, education, medical care, and work experience.
The Plumbing and Heating Champions project was a collaborative effort between several organizations including IAPMO – a non-profit standards and certification industry body – WorldSkills, TECE, the Russian HVAC Expert association, and the Ministry of Building, Architecture and Housing Municipal Services.
