The Problem

There are an estimated 47,000 children currently in orphanages in one of the largest countries in Eastern Europe.

The number of children considered orphaned or vulnerable is significantly higher, but guardianship and foster care offer alternatives to traditional residential programs.

Young adults who age out of the child protective system have no safe place to call home. Transitional housing is nearly impossible to find, and homes provided to orphan graduates by the government or as part of an inheritance are often unlivable. Only 10% of orphans who age out of traditional residential care are able to successfully transition into adulthood.

Our Response

Orphan Outreach responds to the needs of orphaned and vulnerable children in Russia in 3 ways:

We offer tangible hope by meeting the physical and spiritual needs of children who have been removed from abuse or neglect and placed in the orphanage system.

We provide training, mentorship, and social services support to foster care and adoptive families.

We provide safe, nurturing support for young adults as they leave the child protective system and navigate the transition to independent living.

Orphanage Support

Government-run orphanages provide sanctuary and basic care for children of all ages who have been orphaned or removed from their homes due to abuse or neglect. Additionally, specially designated homes are designed to serve children with special needs. Up to 90% of all children who enter the child protective system in Russia remain in the system until they age out as teenagers.

Aging Out Program

The need for quality support for children who are orphaned doesn’t end when those children age out of traditional care. Young adults who age out of orphanages in Russia face unsure futures, and without personalized care, the odds of a thriving adult life are not in their favor.
