- Company Overview:
- We help families and communities that still suffer the the consequences of the Chernobyl nuclear disaster.
We do this through medical and community development programs that directly address the domino affect of poverty, poor health, and social impact that was the legacy of the disaster.
People in Chernobyl regions want to be independent and move on with their lives, and our mission is to support them in this effort. - Mission:
- This is how we help:
- Volunteer surgical teams save the lives of children in Belarus and Ukraine, who are experiencing dramatic increased in genetic heart disease since 1986.We train local physicians to carry on this work on their own.
- We send volunteer nursing and therapeutic professionals to understaffed orphanages and community centers to care for kids and provide training to their peers.
- We build community centers and develop programs that help locals take their destiny into their own hands.
- We take children out of orphanages and place them in homes of their own.
- We provide at home care for disabled children, giving their parents an alternative to putting their kids in orphanages.
- We provide hospice services to seriously ill children and their families.
