Allies in Youth Development engages orphans through nurturing friendships, modeling biblical love, and providing education –
What is Life Like for an Eastern European Orphan?
Get a glimpse of the daily challenges children face in the orphanage.
Engage
By training and engaging in-country university students and partners, we cultivate a culture of involvement that benefits orphans in and outside the orphanage.
Educate
Orphans need education, training and opportunities. Proper skills development through our education programs ensures their success and safety when it's time for them to lead independent lives.
Empower
Abandonment can lead any child down the wrong path. Restoring their motivation, self-worth and dignity empowers them to make better choices, improves educational abilities, and forms a foundation for success.
Who Do We Serve
Here is a message from the AIYD Director of International Operations, Dr. Tatiana Baeva:
Birthdays are happy and impactful occasions. Children always look forward to their special day, because they know that it will be filled with gifts, surprises, and food that they can share with their family, friends, and loved ones.
Earlier in the year during Allies’ first visit to theShovgenovskiyorphanage, a group of volunteers fromKrasdnodarplanned a theatricalperformanceentitled “Panchinello.”
