Who provides orphan sponsorship in Ukraine?

Saving one’s life means not only preserving the physical existence of the body (though it is definitely the first thing to do). A very important thing is to help this body have a decent life, feel not the “waste product” of the society but a person of full value. These are the reasons for orphansponsorship in Ukraine.

Unfortunately, adolescent children have little chances for adoption. Therefore, an older friend – a mentor can support the alumni on this difficult stage of their life journey. The goal of our project is simple — to make the world better! Namely, to bring everyone to provide any help to those who really need it, in particular young residents of children's institutions.

An orphan lives in an orphanage until 16-17 years, up to the end of the 9th form. Only 5% of children finish the 11-th class in children's homes. At the age of 16 they enter a vocational school, but they can apply only for school where there is a hostel.

Children have classes at school until 3 p.m., and then they waste their time just hanging out in the street, developing bad habits. Their leisure is not organized properly, there is no one to turn to for advice, there are a lot of temptations. In this troublesome time it is necessary to supervise children so that every child understands that he is not alone with his problems and still there is someone to be asked for help, for advice, for support.

Hope Now USA helps Ukrainian orphans to cope with difficulties typical of living in foster homes. The main task that we set for ourselves is to support children who have occurred in extraordinary life situations. These are children living in foster homes and boarding schools, children who are exposed for a long time in hospital, at-risk children and graduates of orphanages. We believe that every child can be happy, if surrounded by caring people and warm hearts!

We support children who occurred in difficult situation and deprived of the pleasures available for children living with parents and having families. To supply all this we hold events for social adaptation, which help children to learn useful life skills and gain confidence in future.

Our children participate in various master classes, visit places of interest all over Ukraine, take part in local competitions and compete in regional championships. It is important that at all events we stay near children! We realize that we can't give children a mother's care and father's attention to the full, but we can be friends! A friend is someone who will understand, support and stretch a helping hand. Therefore, we, as true friends, are always ready to share our children’s joys and sorrows.
