The
children we help live in the Republic of Belarus, which was the
country most affected by the Chernobyl Nuclear disaster. Whilst
a strategy
is in place to close the orphanages, there are still approximately
8000 children living in institutions, without the parental love
that they desperately need. Top Kids! encourages families to open
up their homes so that the orphan children can have a better future.
We then support the families through the kind donations and sponsorship
of people who choose to help us. Most
of our families care for a minimum of five children and quite
a few even have ten!
The
foster parents are amazing people who love the children very much
and willingly make great sacrifices
to cover their financial costs.
The change that takes place in the children, when they move from an orphanage
into a loving family home, is quite amazing. It's as if they light up
and their outlook becomes completely different. You can see it in their
faces! |
