Ukraine
Our work started with helping orphans in Ukraine. No matter how many children you meet or how large a charity grows it is important to remember each orphan or abandoned child has his or her own sad story.
This is Vera who I met in the Kirovograd Rescue Shelter. She is eleven years old and was living in the Rescue shelter until the authorities decide what to do with her. I asked her why she was in the Rescue Shelter and she told me that her parents used to live in Kirovograd. Then one day her father went to Donetsk to look for work and never came back. Her mother went to Donetsk and found her father and left her with him. Although Vera's mother had left her with her father he didn't want her and with tears in her eyes she told me how her father had left her with complete strangers and never came back. These strangers then took her to the Rescue Shelter in Donetsk and left her there. Because she didn't come from that region she was sent to the Kirovograd Rescue Shelter. It is heart breaking to listen to these sad stories but how much more heart breaking to actually experience being abandoned by your parents. It is to help children like Vera that the charity exists.
Victor regularly visits children in orphanages and rescue shelters

New washing facilities
In Ukraine we regular provide the funds to supply clothes, shoes, coats, mattresses, bedding, glass, lino, carpet, medical equipment, medicine, cooking utensils and renovating rooms in a number of orphanages. While in three orphanages we have undertaken the much larger projects of completely renewing and refurbishing the bathrooms, washing facilities and pipe work in three storey buildings. We work very closely with a man called Victor who runs a little rescue shelter for street kids and regularly visits orphanages and internats. He also organises people to visit the children and to run Bible clubs in the orphanages and to befriend the children. We provide resources for those who visit these children.

Rehabilitation centre for ex prisoners
We provided the funds to help buy a small farm and are helping with the building of a half way home for ex prisoners which includes a workshop for the ex prisoners to learn skills and prepare them to face life outside the prison.
We also provide for a group of doctors to once a month visit very poor rural villages and to provide free medicine and treatment for those who cannot afford it.
