Foster Families
We hope to establish families within foreign countries as foster parents for children that cannot be adopted. This allows continued movement of children from institutional settings in to loving homes. The families are monitored and are often supported on a one-on-one basis by families here in the U.S.

A close relationship typically develops between the foster and American families and provides a way for us to truly be a global community. Regular medical and social updates can be provided. Families are encouraged to correspond with both the child and the foster family. Translation is provided whenever needed.

Institutional Assistance
We provide assistance to institutions with which we have developed a relationship, so that we can insure donations are used as intended. We focus our efforts toward those in severe need. Each institution must follow our strict ethical guidelines and submit to unscheduled inspections.

Food, medical supplies, appliances, educational games, blankets, coats, and shoes/boots are examples of items that have been donated to orphanages. We purchase and monitor all humanitarian aid and keep records of the assistance as required by US law.

We accept donations for general or specified purposes. Donations can be either monetary or specific items. Due to shipping costs many items are more cost effectively purchased inside the country by our representatives. Please contact our office before gathering any items. Examples are:

  • polar fleece blankets and baby outfits
  • vitamins
  • formula
  • blanket sleepers
  • funds for refrigerators, boilers, washers and dryers, activity toys, bouncy seats, adoption grants, and our general orphanage improvement fund

We also work in conjunction with established programs and organizations where our combined efforts increase the assistance the children will receive such as:

  • Assisting the Ukrainian Children’s Fund, an organization that helps Ukrainian families who have adopted children by providing food, clothing, bedding, etc.

Volunteer Programs
We coordinate groups who wish to volunteer time to upgrade and maintain orphanages. Examples of projects include:
Upgrading a playground including repairing and painting play equipment.
Fixing and upgrading plumbing / bathroom facilities.

  • Structural maintenance and/or improvements
  • Painting projects
  • Installation of appliances
  • Making clothes or bedding materials.

Coordination includes identifying facilities where work is needed, listing documents that will be required, travel and lodging arrangements, acquisition of materials, permits/permission if required, and so on.

Student Internships
We coordinate arrangements for students who have interest in volunteering their skills. Students from fields of social work, early childhood development, pediatrics, nutrition, facilities management, administration, and so on are welcome to participate.
Most universities have programs to allow students a self designed internship for credit towards their major area of study. If your university does not and you would like to start a rewarding program please contact us for examples of what students have done while at the orphanages for college credit. The possibilities are limitless!
