Russia

Overview

While the Russian government has taken steps to improve children’s well-being, many remain in vulnerable situations. Children from insecure family environments frequently end up living on the street, or in care institutions, for long periods of time.

The project’s initiatives will seek to provide shelter, protection and support to children living on the street; support families in crisis thereby reducing the number of street children in the long term; fuel the aspirations of young people; and equip them with the skills they need to prepare for the workplace.
