Russia
Russia has approximately 600,000 orphans with most having at least one living parent. The Russia child welfare system is similar to the US, where the government takes custody of an abandoned, neglected or abused child and puts them into a state run orphan home facility. The majority of children are orphaned by parents who have fallen to drug and alcohol abuse and failed to provide basic care for the child. Because all homes in Russia are state run, outside monthly funding is not allowed for general operations of any orphan care facility. The Russia economy still to this day, struggles, to provide adequate funding for the needs of their most vulnerable citizens, the children. Your support of our Russia programs provide a quality, loving upbringing for a child in need to grow up and become healthy, productive citizens in their communities.
Life Ring Charity- Khabarovsk Krai
Sponsorship Programs Available: Home Sponsorship
Orphan’s Lifeline helped form the charity, Life Ring, with a Khabarovsk Pediatrician and Minister in Far East Russia in 2000. Since its inception thousands, upon thousands of children have been beneficiaries of goods to enhance their quality of life that would not otherwise be provided by government funding. What started as gifts of the basic clothing and hygiene supplies in cold, hard institutions has now grown to family style program support with agriculture, woodworking, sewing skills opportunities and more. The children who are residing in the homes we support are able to live a life similar to non-orphaned youth in their communities as they attend public school and church and participate in local community events.
Charity Fund- Barnaul Region
Sponsorship Programs Available: Home Sponsorship
Orphan’s Lifeline has been supporting the Charity Fund program since 2002 when introduced to a gentleman who was the Dean of the Church of Christ School of Preaching and was in the US to speak at the Sunset School of Preaching. After discussing our mission and our vision for orphans we helped him to form Charity Fund in Barnaul. This charity provides living necessities, medical supplies and goods for orphaned, abandoned, neglected and ill children in Barnaul orphan homes, baby homes, medical centers and institutions for the destitute. The children who reside in these facilities receive much needed medical supplies, life skills supplies, clothing and skill building toys that they would not otherwise receive. From the baby homes to the tuberculosis hospital, their quality of life is greatly improved through our donor’s contributions.
