Everyone in their place can help and support: • Mother (father) or grandmother, those who raise children themselves. • A family that finds itself in difficult life circumstances; After all, it is from such families that children most often end up in boarding schools. 30% of children who were raised in boarding schools will bring their children here. • A family that took children from a boarding school for upbringing. These children and families need help every day. What they need most is: love, support, help with life skills, care and attention. If you want to help a child, regardless of whether she is in a boarding school, in a family that finds herself in difficult life circumstances, or in a family raising a child deprived of parental care - help! • Support the Mentoring project, or become a Mentor for a child in a boarding school yourself. • Support a family who finds themselves in difficult life circumstances, or the Foundation's projects in this direction. • Support the family that took in the children.
