Russia CarePoints

[/vc_column_text][vc_separator color=”white”][vc_column_text el_class=”whiteType” css=”.vc_custom_1567030800209{padding-top: 2% !important;}”]

The CarePoints in Russia collectively serve as a “home away from home” for older orphaned youth, young adults, and their young families. These programs are designed to holistically address their spiritual, emotional, physical, and medical needs as they are transitioning from life in an orphanage to a healthy, independent life.

This program provides psychological, social, and financial aid to young single mothers in crisis situations. The objective of this program is to come alongside female orphanage graduates and support them with resources to succeed in their role as mothers. Once a month, young mothers come to group sessions in the CarePoints. The topics discussed include baby’s food and nutrition, baby’s hygiene, contraceptive methods, and wise money management. The program manager and the CarePoint counselor hold individual counseling sessions with mothers multiple times a week, and even call mothers who can’t attend the program at the CarePoint. Every week an early childhood development caregiver conducts classes for children ages 6 – 36 months old. These classes are specifically designed to help young children develop and learn through educational play. They also help young mothers learn about their children, and how to participate in and encourage their child’s development. The caregiver teaches mothers how to spend intimate time with their babies to support the development of a strong parent-child bond.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″][vc_single_image image=”11875″ img_size=”full”][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1501960365628{padding-top: 3% !important;padding-right: 18% !important;padding-bottom: 3% !important;padding-left: 18% !important;background-color: #8ccecd !important;background-position: center !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: cover !important;}”][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_single_image image=”11876″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_column_text el_class=”whiteType” css=”.vc_custom_1504291813670{margin-right: 18% !important;margin-left: 18% !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”]

“I would like to express deep gratitude to everyone who has been helping us and our children. Words cannot describe how grateful we are for your thoughtfulness and care for the ones in need. The Ministry Center has become a second home for my son and I. This is a place where we come to talk, have tea and take part in different activities. We spend a lot of time here, as we love the atmosphere and the staff.”
