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
Would you like to do some good for orphans while we all hunker down at home? Right now is a great opportunity to clean out those closets and donate any unneeded items to Allies to ship over to the children in the orphanages!

For these special children, Sonya and Roma, Christmas came in February from the Angel Tree, because they were sick and we could not visit them. What a joy it was for Sonya to receive a doll she was dreaming about. She cried when she found it in her bag!
