The goal of the project is to create a modern, safe and functional catering unit in Derazhnya Lyceum No. 3 named after the Hero of Ukraine Ivan Zubkov by reconstructing the premises and equipping them with new equipment that will ensure high-quality and balanced nutrition for students in accordance with sanitary and hygienic standards. The method of achieving the goal is to reconstruct the premises of the catering unit, replace outdated communications, install modern technological equipment (steam combi oven, dishwasher, dough mixer, multicooker, etc.), and equip ventilation and lighting systems in accordance with the requirements.

The organization of high-quality and balanced nutrition in an educational institution largely depends on the technical condition of the equipment in the catering unit. Unfortunately, many schools still use outdated stoves, ovens, refrigerators and other equipment that have long been in need of replacement. This creates a number of problems: the process of preparing dishes using modern technologies is complicated; the opportunity to diversify the menu with steamed vegetables, baked dishes or dietary products is reduced; time and energy costs increase due to the low efficiency of old equipment; there is a risk of equipment malfunctions, which can negatively affect the quality and safety of food. Such conditions do not allow for the full implementation of modern standards of healthy nutrition, which include minimizing fried foods, using gentle methods of food processing and cooking food rich in vitamins and nutrients. Updating the equipment of the dining block is an investment in children's health, because only a modern kitchen makes it possible to prepare tasty, healthy, and varied food according to the needs of schoolchildren.
