How to make donation to this institution?

Attention! The boarding school needs your help very much!

For example, in 2004 it was allocated on the average 5 grn (less than $1) for food for one person for one day!!! To comply with elementary sanitary requirements it is necessary to spend at least 11 grivnas ($2). The children badly need vitamins, fresh vegetables and fruits, cheese. The boarding school has its own hothouse, but it is obviously not enough.

The boarding school also constantly needs footwear and clothes, especially slippers (the norm is 1 pair for 2 years, but it's not enough!). The sizes they need are 19, 23, 25. The schools also needs panths, long-sleeved shirts, T-shirts, footwear (sneakers, boots, shoes).

The schools constantly lacks sports inventory (foot balls and volley balls, ping-pong rackets and tables).

The rooms of the school also need to be repaired, the old parquet needs to be varnished. The roof of the isolation ward is leaking

If you or your company can render any help (for example, 20-50 grivnas., or food or goods) - the children and the staff of the boarding school will be very grateful to you. You can decide and supervise how your donations will be used.

We are always happy to see you in our boarding school!
