About Fund Pchyolka

Since Fund Pchyolka was founded in 1997, our primary focus has been to help orphans in the Kaliningrad region of Russia. We currently work with thirteen different orphanage facilities.

Babies Homes:
Babies Homes are medical facilities for babies up to four years old who have been abandoned or whose parents are imprisoned. Most of the babies get adopted. Those who do not are transferred to an orphanage.

Shelters:
Shelters are temporary homes for older homeless children who can stay for a maximum of one year. Then they are either reunited with family or transferred to an orphanage.

Orphanages:
Orphanages are permanent homes for true orphans or children taken by court order. Most children in Russian orphanages have been abandoned by an alcoholic parent.

Internats:
Internats are boarding schools for both orphans and for those who are not orphans, but are classified as "slow learners".
