There are more than 4 million Russian orphans and homeless children. Most of
them live on the streets or in underground sewers and desperately need food and
clothes. Only the luckiest of them live in orphanages
which often do not have hot running water or even such basic necessities as a
shower or a toilet. Statistics
show that only one out of ten Russian orphans becomes a functional member of
society. The others are lost to drugs, crime and suicide. Many talented people
are dedicated to helping Russian orphans. Unfortunately,
most Russian orphanages receive only promises from the government.
Give these children hope for a life that is free of starvation, negligence
and physical and emotional pain.

What would it take to make these children smile? They have no home, no loving parents and often times no food! Many of Russian orphans suffer from a mental or physical illness and are severely malnourished.
These children who once were smiling healthy babies and looked at life
with eyes full of wonder and anticipation have been subjected to suffering, severe disappointment
and unimaginable hardships. Human
Rights Watch has found that "orphans in Russia are exposed to shocking levels
of cruelty and neglect". Sponsor a child to
make a difference in Russian orphans' life today! Put a smile back on this child's face for just $1 per day! |
