Modernisation of heating system in center for people affected by drugs, living in MONAR community hostel in a very poor conditions. Project is aimed in providing a cheap heat based on local biomas (wood, wood waste from nearby forests - permanent agreement with local forest inspectorate - free of charge wood waste for work in the forest, what has also therapeutical function; ecological effects (biomas instead of oil), social (improvment of a living condition, economic (savings , also more efficient use of energy, existing boiler is very old ,further exploatation is risky).
