Emergency
HOMES
Love Russia provides accommodation that can take in orphans at the point they leave the orphanage system.
Here, they can live without the fear of becoming homeless, receive regular guidance from a mentor, and learn the things most people learn from their parents. Once they find work, they can live with significantly reduced outgoings until they are ready for complete independence.
The
NEED
When a young person ages out of the Russian orphanage system, they are often unprepared for life and what it means to be independent.
Some struggle with even the most basic self-care and self-discipline.
With no understanding of how to plan for the future, challenged by complicated forms, lacking a good education, and with no parents to guide them, many orphanage leavers find themselves homeless.
In
PARTNERSHIP
Love Russia collaborates with a mentor who oversees the management and care of both the home and the young individuals residing within it.
Providing shelter in a transition home for an orphanage leaver opens up many opportunities. This secure environment allows them to develop in various ways, including learning to cook, clean, and care for themselves – all the things most of us learn from having a family.
With the support of a Love Russia mentor, a transition home is a place where they can prepare for greater independence and stand on their own once they are ready.
What Your
DONATIONS DO
Donations towards our emergency home help maintain and equip it with beds, cookers, and other essentials. They also assist the project leader with the expenses of running the home, as well as subsidising orphans who are not yet able to contribute.
