Education
In 2025, the canteen of the Dușmani Gymnasium was renovated as part of Moldova's "European Village" program. The renovation included the replacement of walls, ceilings, windows, and doors, along with upgrades to the water, sewage, heating, and electrical systems. The modernized canteen now provides over 80 primary school students with a hot meal every school day, a significant improvement from the cold snacks previously offered. The project, funded by the Government of Moldova with an investment of 1.85 million lei, reflects ongoing efforts to enhance local educational facilities and the well-being of students.[5]
