To the children from the Children’s Home Mukachevo

A project designed to improve the children’s living conditions in the residential home in Mukachevo (Ukraine). It is a permanent home and a boarding school for over 170 children aged from 5 to 16 years. These children come from alcoholic or dysfunctional families, from socially deprived homes or have been without a home.
The cooperation between the NGO ADRA Czech Republic and the children’s home started 2 years ago as a summer camp organized by Czech volunteers for the children living in this residential establishment. This year an extended project aims at providing English language classes and to financing the reconstruction works on the children’s home.

The building dates from 1940´s and, apart from some minor repair works, no improvements have been made. The building's owner, the city of Mukachevo, neither has the funds, nor the means to provide financial assistance for such repairs. ADRA Czech Republic has therefore decided to help in finding the funding necessary to repair the most urgent parts of the buildings especially the roof.

The goal of this project therefore is to fund the repair of the roof and thus to raise the living standards of the children.
