Education for orphans

 We want to improve the educational opportunities of orphans in post-Soviet states. Due to the traumatic experiences many of these children have had, they often find it difficult to concentrate on learning. This does not get easier during puberty. They often have a low frustration tolerance and a lack of self-esteem, which significantly affects their learning success.

However, a good education is almost the only door to a successful future for the children in care. We contribute to the costs of support, tutoring, learning guidance and career counselling for the young people concerned. In addition to learning, we are particularly concerned with promoting independence and self-confidence.

Currently, we are focusing primarily on orphans in Ukraine, Russia and Kazakhstan. The project is realised in close cooperation with the local education centres and associations.
