Family love, beautiful surroundings and an emphasis on individualized education all help children to heal the scars of early traumas, and build the personal, academic and vocational skills to become active contributing members of society.

Our objectives:

1. Providing orphans with a foster family, a high quality education, and creating the necessary conditions for personal development.

2. Psychological and educational support for each foster family; uniting foster families in a holistic pedagogical complex for the more effective resolution of questions relating to raising children.

3. Consultation and education for foster parents and social workers.
