Bedsheet for Orphanage

Over the past two years, our project helped hundreds of orphans and children whose parents lost their parental rights. All these children are younger than seven years of age and live in the specialized regional orphanages in Central and Western Ukraine.

The majority of children have complicated physical and mental disabilities (ie: Cerebral Palsy, AIDs, Tuberculosis, heart, kidney problems, blindness, Down Syndrome, etc.) This leaves very little or no room for their dream of having a normal family.

We work only with highly motivated staff that truly cares about children and are willing to do whatever it takes to enrich the lives of the children.

WHO DO WE HELP?

Tulchinsky Regional specialized orphanage (62 children, under age 6)

Volyn Regional specialized orphanage (30 children, under age 4)

Khmelnitsky Regional specialized orphanage (100 children, from birth age 7)
