We have gathered today to a certain extent to report about all projects, which prepared and have been carried out by Heydar Aliyev Foundation in 2005, and sum up the last year. Taking into account very big interest and attention in society to activity of the Fund, today we would like to inform on all our projects and programs.

Education, public health services, science and technologies, culture, ecology, sports, social problems - in all these areas the Foundation prepares and carries out programs. As a whole, we aspire to build the activity in the form adequate to modern requirements - to reveal the problems available in society worrying people, prepare and carry out necessary measures on the way of resolution of the mentioned problem, achieve successful results. Today, we want to bring to your notice the results of this strategy of the Foundation.
First of all, about the education being one the priorities of our activity. Taking into account great value of education in development of our country, the last year in the given sphere, have been prepared and carried out some large-scale projects. It is the program “To the Renewed Azerbaijan - New School”, arousing in our country very big resonance. Presenting for the first time the said program, we have carried out a “round-table”. Many people did not trust, and concerned with doubt as how it can be, that within three-four months will be constructed 139 schools, besides, the majority of them - in the remote areas, in mountain areas of our country. But we have proved, that if there is belief and will, if there is ability correctly to manage work, any problem can find its resolution in the shortest terms”.
