Dear Donors,
We are delighted to share the progress and achievements of our program, Orange Energy - Stop Loneliness for Children, made possible by Your generous support. Below, you will find an update on our activities and the impact we have had since the beginning of the year.
Since January, we have launched free psychological support for children and adolescents in our region. The kids who come to us need support and intervention help; they cannot wait, and they often come from families that cannot afford private psychological visits.
We have created a cozy and beautiful office where young people can feel safe and talk about their problems without fear. Since the beginning of the year, nearly 40 young people have benefited from psychological support, and we have provided over 150 hours of psychological consultations.
Our street workers continuously operate in the field, conducting outdoor activities. Regularly, twice a week, regardless of the weather, they meet with children and adolescents in two districts of the city. Together, they actively spend time playing football, board games, and, most importantly, talking, creating relationships, and bonds. Street workers treat each young person individually and see potential in them. It is important to us that young people do not feel lonely and left on their own. The kids eagerly await each meeting with the street workers and attend them in large numbers. Currently, over 40 people are supported by street workers. Besides regular activities, we organize additional attractions such as colorful picnics, cinema outings, and outdoor cinema.
We belive that such activities and psychological support intervention (not waiting over six months as it happens in Poland) save these young people lives. We can make this difference thanks to Your support.
Your continued support is vital to our mission. Together, we can ensure that no child feels alone or unsupported. Consider making a donation today to help us expand our reach and provide even more resources and activities for the children in our community. Every contribution, big or small, makes a significant impact. Thank you for being a part of our journey and for helping us brighten young lives!
