In Ukraine today, a lot of orphans are “social orphans,” which means that they have living parents. The main reason for these children being place in orphanages is abandonment at birth, being taken from alcoholic/abusive parents by the state, and imprisonment. They graduate the Orphanage at the end of grade 9 even though they have not yet completed their schooling. At this point, they are unprepared to function in the real world. The orphanage system does not prepare children with the life skills needed to live independently, such as basic hygiene and cooking. Also, they have had no family model on which to base their future relationships. Statistics for Graduating Orphans:
73% will not find work
Vision for “Key of Hope” Home We want to help graduating orphans make the transition into society by providing a Christian family environment. It is our intention to build homes for graduating orphans. They will be located on the outskirts of Kyiv close to the current YWAM base. The home will be a place of safety and security where the child has opportunity to learn and grow. Here they will learn the basics skills they need to move on with their lives. It will be a place where they are loved and valued.
