In this situation we created a project, directed mainly on support of children from broken, large or crisis families. We give children more chances to grow up and become healthy and well-educated persons.

Even elementary help (such as food, clothes, medical care, legal aid) will let the parents to spend more money on education and upbringing of the children. In the longer term, we increase chances that children will grow in their native families, and will not be taken to orphan asylums or children's homes in case of inability of parents to take care of their children. We give children more chances to grow up and become healthy and well-educated persons.
