Thank you for your gracious partnership in serving orphans and vulnerable children throughout Europe! With your support, we have been able to do a lot of great work!
We continue to serve those affected by the war in Ukraine. While it is not in the spotlight as much these days, there continues to be a huge need in this area. We have been able to raise £77,000 to support orphans and mum-only families who are refugees in Poland, Romania, Moldova, Bulgaria and Slovakia. We are helping both with material needs and with processing the trauma of their experience. Our projects have included funding summer camps for refugee children, training of children, parents and professionals to deal with war trauma, psychological services to refugee children, play therapy and helping refugee families with living costs such as food, electricity and clothes.
We continue regular training and mentoring of national leaders serving orphans and vulnerable children. This year we are training 150 leaders and activists from across Europe in three online training events! In addition, we are now working towards a Europe-wide forum in March 2023, to be held in Sofia, Bulgaria. This will be a time of helping new “Without Orphan” movements to grow, solidifying existing movements, and a time of training, support and encouragement for frontline workers.
Speaking of new movements, we are excited for the growing work in Croatia, Egypt and Slovakia! With your support we are meeting with leaders in these countries and seeing really encouraging results. Please pray with us that these seeds being planted will grow into strong country-wide movements toward every child having a safe and loving family.
Thank you, again, for helping us serve vulnerable children and families in Europe and beyond. We are deeply grateful for your support. Please write to us an time to learn more about our work: europe@worldwithoutorphans.org.
