English language for children in children’s homes

We plan to pay for an English language course for 10 children aged 13 to 18 who are brought up in family-type children’s homes. These children, like any other, have dreams and plans for the future, and learning English opens up additional opportunities for them.

A family-type children’s homes is a separate family created at the request of a spouse or an individual to take in at least 5 orphans and children deprived of parental care for upbringing and joint living. In other words, it is a big adopted family.

A family-type children’s homes need special support in the conditions of the great war in Ukraine. Yes, they are provided by the state, but, unfortunately, this is not enough to cover all costs. Our foundation has been supporting these families for the second year in a row, providing them with household and educational equipment, furniture and essential goods, and within the framework of this collection, we want to give children something that will stay with them forever and will help them many times in life – knowledge.

Children will have the opportunity to complete a 4-month English language school course, as well as tablets to be able to connect to online classes and do homework.
