A special holiday party and gifts were given to the young residents of the landscaped yard during the event that took place on the eve of the New Year holiday.

The Our Yard project's major objectives are to restore greenery, make yards in the capital area ecologically clean and appealing, provide safe and comfortable living conditions for locals, and create a meaningful recreational space.

In addition to organizing youth recreation and encouraging sports participation, the landscaped courtyards consider the ease of mobility for individuals with disabilities, foster the growth of kids across all age groups, and include a chess field, a football stadium with an artificial roof, and a number of sports facilities. In the courtyards at the same time, there were sixteen chat rooms, lots of seats, bird nests, and cat houses. Furthermore, the buildings' facades and blocks underwent extensive repairs, the asphalt and roofing were replaced, the electric lines were redone, and new lighting poles and security cameras were placed in the courtyards.

A 3,542 square meter green belt was laid, 19,100 bushes were planted, and 650 different types of trees were planted in addition to the courtyards' existing greenery being restored. Furthermore, common stone ivy and other creeping plants were planted around the yard to create green fences that prevented air pollution.
