The Morynska AH is one of the smallest hromadas in the Cherkasy Oblast, which unites 6 villages, 2 settlements and 1805 inhabitants.

According to Anatoliy Vyduta, head of the hromada, the Morynskaya AH has been operating for only one and a half years. They use UAH 15 million of budget funds to maintain 4 cultural centres and 1 cultural club, 1 outpatient clinic and rural health posts in each AH village, 4 libraries and 1 educational complex, attended by 140 pupils. Children are brought to the hub school from all villages by a school bus, the hromada also pays for bus travels between villages. The hromada has already renovated some infrastructure facilities (cultural centres, a school), and plans repairs this year as well. Here one can see children's playgrounds installed and small parks arranged everywhere. The hromada is being cleaned up so thoroughly that one may hardly see any piece of paper in the streets.
