Family is the best enviroment
Support to orphans is a necessary and important measure. However, experience shows us that children in institutions still desperately need loving parents and family.
UNICEF supports projects helping families in need in Russia helping families stay together. In cases when it is impossible for a child to stay with his or her biological family, social workers try to find close relatives who can take care of the child, and in the most critical cases – a foster family for a child. Our experience shows that deprivation of parental rights, a practice that is widely used in Russia is not always in the best interests of the child.

Street children: from emergency measures to solutions
In big cities you can see unsupervised children on the streets almost every day. These children often need urgent medical or psycho-social support. With UNICEF support, such help is provided to street children in Moscow and Saint Petersburg. Social workers also provide the guidance and support needed to help youngsters get back to a normal life and childhood.
Your support will give street children hope for a better future!

Many street children are not orphans, they have parents who for one reason or another are unable to provide the necessary care and support a child needs. The goal of UNICEF activities is to prevent children ending up in the streets where they are vulnerable to violence and exploitation and are exposed to risks of drug and alcohol abuse. With UNICEF support specialists work with families at risk before the situation is irretrievable to prevent children from finding themselves trying to survive on the streets.
Your support can help prevent a tragedy!
