The program also supports the vulnerable orphanage "graduates" who leave the orphanage at age 16.
Working with our local Russian contacts and the orphanage staff, the program provides mentors and financial support to ensure all orphanage graduates are able to continue their educations, find adequate housing, and secure jobs. The program also provides assistance to orphanage graduates who need help with living expenses when attending technical schools, repairing government provided apartments (which are not furnished and often come without doors or windows), completing the paperwork for educational and housing opportunities, purchasing adequate clothing and necessary supplies and tools for work, and tutoring. |
