1. UOCFP Scholarship Fund
This fund will sponsor Ukrainian orphans and
disadvantaged youth to attend a post secondary educational facility in Ukraine. Complete details of this fund can be found on the scholarship page. Our goal is to sponsor 10 youths this year, at a cost of $10,000.00.
2. Summer Camp Support
The HUHTC Summer camp program is essential for
orphans who have no place to go or nothing to do in the summer months. Most orphanages for the older youth scale down with activities, supervision and in some cases even close. In the summer months, some orphans live and travel from camp to camp. This camp located in Vorokhta hosts approximately 400 orphans ever year. We once again would like to sponsor 50 children at a total cost of $5,000.00.
3. Lost and Alone in Ukraine, the film
As advocates for these children, the best way we can
attract attention and get support for our cause is to educate the masses. We need to provide some kind of future for the ones who really deserve it. At the age of 18, most orphans must leave the only home that they have known. We hope to make this 30-minute documentary film, and distribute it all across the USA & Canada. Any profits (if) made from this film will be used for our scholarship fund. The more funds raised means the more youths we can offer this scholarship to.
4. Makiivsky Orphanage for HIV Children
A small and poor orphanage near Donetsk City needs
our help desperately. They have crucial needs for medicines and daily essential needs for about 80 children infected by the HIV virus. |

Our 2004 Programs
|
|
We need to raise a modest $20,000.00 to
support the first 3 programs for 2004. Please help us reach our goals!
We often get requests for help on a regular
basis from Ukraine and Russia, but we rarely get any financial help from anyone. PLEASE consider helping us with our cause. See the "Support Us" page for a list of those that have contributed. We appreciate those that have and in recognition of their generosity we have listed their names. |

Eastern European groups that
provide humanitarian aid for orphaned or street children are encouraged to contact us! |
