Caring for orphans shouldn't be so difficult. Don't be overwhelmed; Be on Mission!

There are more than 100,000 children in State-run orphanages in Ukraine, including more than 3000 in our region. Ninety-two percent of them have a family; they are "social orphans", institutionalized because of poverty, neglect, health, and other reasons. We believe an institution is no place for a child; we want them reunited with families or adopted or in loving foster care.

 

Partnering with Shade for Children helps make that transition possible so they can have a forever family and you can be a part of making their world a better place.

Donate

It takes about $200 a month for fuel and supplies to visit orphanages. A Day camp cost up to $3000/week. Any amount, big or small, enables the work to continue. Shade for Children is a 501(c)3 Non-Profit organization based in Vicksburg, MS. EIN: 83-4113208. 

Pray

You may not be ready to adopt a child or send money to our ministry but we believe prayer makes a difference. We have stories that testify to that truth. We can send you quarterly updates about an orphaned child for as long as we can maintain contact with the child.
