CONTRIBUTE TO A SPECIFIC CAUSE

Orphanges and Homeless Shelters:

Your donation will help to meet orphanages basic needs (food, heat, bedding, clothing, transportation, etc.) and establish vocational training programs. Your support will provide homeless kids with medical care, therapy, vocational training, food & shelter.

Medical Assistance:

Your contribution will help us to provide medical care to children suffering from Arthritis, HIV, cleft lip and palate, severe facial deformities and other debilitating conditions.  RCWS also sponsors medical and diagnostic equipment, training exchange programs for Russian doctors and medical symposiums.

Scholarship Programs:

You could sponsor a full scholarship or just a portion of the expense allowing an intellectually outstanding student from an orphanage in Pskov, Yaroslavl, Moscow or Novgorod to attend a local college and receive a profession. Our guidance counselors assist the RCWS in seeing that the students have a smooth transition and use their stipend for food, books, clothing, school supplies and proper housing, as well as to provide them with necessary moral support in a challenging new environment.  To date, 13 of our scholarship recipients have completed their schooling and found employment. Currently, we are supporting 38 students.

Rehabilitation Centers for Disabled Children:

With your help, we will continue to provide treatment for children with mental or physical disabilities. RCWS supports the rehabilitation centers that offer educational activities, vocational training, legal advice, art therapy sessions, psychological assistance, sport and music lessons to children with disabilities.

Annual New Year's Party for Orphans in Moscow:

Your gift could bring the joy and happiness of Christmas to an orphan or sick child. In December 2007, with our donor's help, RCWS was able to bring Christmas to 2,300 orphans and sick children in Russia.
