Our Objectives

• Establish a new model of transitional childcare; help orphans too old for an orphanage integrate successfully into mainstream life.
• Not only provide material care, but also address the holistic needs of these children (emotional, social, spiritual, intellectual, and physical health).
• Ensure an adequate level of education and training/job skills, and allow for realistic job placement.
• Provide highly trained and effective staff who see the potential and dignity in the lives of orphans.
• Provide staff who serve not only as workers, but also as mentors who nurture, guide, and advocate for these children.
• Serve as an example to all of St. Petersburg; demonstrate what is possible in childcare, beyond the current norm.
• Empower Russians to staff and manage such a project long-term.
• Establish a new model of relevant evangelism for the Russian church.

Our Goals

• Secure seven permanent apartments, each housing eight young adult orphans and full-time mentors.
• Develop a Professional Training Center offering degrees in twelve professions.
• Train leaders for 250 programs within Russia and another 100 in the other CIS nations.
• Financially support the program through businesses and endowments.
