7 Shor Families Receive Gift Sets for Newborns From Kiyzassky Open-Pit Mine

The Kiyzassky Open-Pit Mine presented the gift sets to two Shor families with newborns in Myski –the Vyrupaev family, who recently had their first child, and the Tydyakov family, the parents of twins. This is the seventh family in 2024 to receive these gift sets, which contain the most essential things for kids.

As part of its New Life project, which the company launched in the Year of the Family, the Kiyzassky Open-Pit Mine gives every Shor family in the town of Myski that welcomes a newborn a gift set containing everything necessary for the first months of life. It includes 33 items – diapers, hygiene products, baby linen and clothes (overalls, bodysuits, socks, caps), a blanket, towel, and bib, thermometers to take the baby's temperature and measure water temperatures, a set of baby dishes, bottles, pacifiers, and a teether, as well as toys and much more.

Having given birth to twins, Vadim and Ekaterina Tydyakov were given two gift sets at once. The pair will be raising five boys. The large family's parents were very pleased with the help from the Kiyzassky Open-Pit Mine. The gifts sets have turned out to be very useful, as the young couple's expenses have increased by several times: "In the coming months, we may not have to buy diapers or baby linen! You have no idea how much money diapers eat up! They may be throw away items, but they cost a fortune. Thank you for your help!"

The Kiyzassky Open-Pit Mine has been providing comprehensive support to the small indigenous people of Kuzbass almost since it launched operations. Over the past 10 years, public spaces have been landscaped in places where the Shors traditionally live, funds have been allocated for organizing folk festivals, a unique line of Shor language textbooks for grades 1 to 4 has been published, and this year a textbook for 5th graders will be printed. And now, the mine's help has reached the smallest representatives of this indigenous people.
