Project "House of Kindness"
In Zaporizhzhya region, almost 90% of orphans live in a family environment - in the families of guardians, trustees, foster families and family-type orphanages.
㊀ The main task of foster parents and guardians is to help the child to get through the traumatic experience of neglect. To raise orphans it is not enough just to "love them". Adults must be methodically, pedagogically and psychologically ready to cope with the difficult behavior of a foster child. One needs to constantly expand knowledge about the age and norms of child development and know how to get professional help.
㊉ The "House of Goodness" Project was created to help families who have adopted orphans and children deprived of parental care. Families can get a free psychological counseling and visit a mutual aid group.
Mutual aid groups held at NEVO are a space where parents and guardians can share their feelings and experiences in safe environment. There are no experts in this format of communication - all participants are equal. Through the common issues and experiences exchange comes the synergy and a unique sense of empathy and support, as well as brings together efficient ways of overcoming the difficulties that each participant has in their experience.
⚠ Project needs:
- financial help for group events;
- targeted assistance to families in the organization of daily life.
All events are free for participants.
