Danute Mituziene, the soul and heart of Nendre since its establishment in 1998, has handed over the leadership of organisation to Edita Koliataite, who was previoustly working as a teacher and deputy for education at Nendre. 
Appreciation for Danute's long-term, sincere and professional work has been expressed not only by Nendre's community, neighbors, shareholders, partners and municipality representatives, but she has also received the highest award of the Ministry of Social Affairs and Labour - the Heart of Kindness.

Nendre was selected as one of the beneficiaries of the International Christmas Charity Bazaar 2018, organized by the International Women's Association of Vilnius in cooperation with the international community in Lithuania. Thanks to this support, 8052 euro, Nendre has been able to renew its heating system and install an air-to-water pump, which is a huge improvement in terms of efficiency and provides a better environment and air quality for everyone at Nendre. 

Emmaus Åland association in Finland is one of our shareholders and long-term sponsors. We also feel privileged to have a group of private sponsors on the Åland Islands who support us with monthly donations. The money is used to cover the expences that are not funded from any other local funding sources. This also enables us to keep the kindergarten fees at the same level as at public kindergartens and make discounts to families who experience financial difficulties.
