Ascent Russian Orphan Aid Foundation
There are more than 4 million Russian orphans and homeless children. Most of them live on the streets or in underground sewers and desperately need food and clothes. Only the luckiest of them live in orphanages which often do not have hot running water or even such basic necessities as a shower or a toilet.
Statistics show that only one out of ten Russian orphans becomes a functional member of society. The others are lost to drugs, crime and suicide. Many talented people are dedicated to helping Russian orphans. Unfortunately, most Russian orphanages receive only promises from the government. Give these children hope for a life that is free of starvation, negligence and physical and emotional pain.
