HELP US TO HELP OTHERS

Write to us

Protective Wings is a scheme in which, through regular donor funding, our Foundation provides a particular child with daily care, support in education, development of their personal passions, and a good start in their future life!

 

HOW THE PROTECTIVE WINGS SCHEME WORKS?

Due to regular funding of the Foundation’s activities, we can provide children and young people with a full range of permanent and long-term help. In their family homes, children cannot be given the appropriate support for development. The families of the children we help struggle to overcome inadequate material and legal conditions, addictions, and other types of dysfunction (including abuse or lack of care for a child). This leads to developmental and educational delay. Thanks to the Foundation, children and young people learn to live with others on the basis of mutual respect, intimacy, and proper communication.

They gain a different perspective of the world and improve their self-esteem. They begin to realize the needs of others and learn to form relationships. Through these actions, at the foundation house, children gain a sense of security and confidence, and an ability to create and pursue their dreams. They steal other people’s hearts straightaway – their childlike sincerity, openness of heart, authenticity, and bright, multicolored personalities fill up the foundation houses.
