The program aims to educate young generations about the importance of water and the protection of water resources. The program is dedicated to third-grade students at primary schools and is implemented in cooperation with the Ministry of Education.<\/p>\n<p>This year, the \u201cFriends of Water\u201d program includes 6 water supply and sewerage utility companies and 12 primary schools across 6 municipalities: Elbasan, Berat, Shkoder, Lezhe, Vlore, and Fier. The implementation of the program in these municipalities is carried out in partnership with the Municipal Infrastructure Program (WPIP\/MIP V).<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_9262\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-9262\" style=\"width: 1280px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/shukalb.al\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Miqte-e-ujit-oct-25_2.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-9262\" src=\"https:\/\/shukalb.al\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Miqte-e-ujit-oct-25_2.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"750\" srcset=\"https:\/\/shukalb.al\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Miqte-e-ujit-oct-25_2.jpeg 1280w, https:\/\/shukalb.al\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Miqte-e-ujit-oct-25_2-300x176.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/shukalb.al\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Miqte-e-ujit-oct-25_2-1024x600.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/shukalb.al\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Miqte-e-ujit-oct-25_2-768x450.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-9262\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Training sessions with teachers in Elbasan<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>During October, SHUKALB organized training sessions with teachers from the participating schools, who will lead the students through various educational activities within the program.
