Every child deserves to be happy and in a loving home and it looks like Ukrainian orphans will finally get their chance at being a part of a family. A Jewish-sponsored foundation, the Aleksandr Feldman Charitable Foundation, has launched their ‘Let’s Protect Childhood’ project in an effort to place Ukrainian orphans in a home and provide them with their own, new and loving family. Feldman, the man behind the charity and a Ukrainian lawmaker, has announced that his foundation will start with children who have no parental custody living in boarding schools in the Kharkovsky region and then spread his project throughout the rest of the country in the hopes of providing children with a better life that the current, outdated system provides.
According to Feldman, “Our aim is to help children without parental custody to create or find family, and to put an end to the outdated boarding school system in Ukraine.” Informational materials about the project and the organization will be broadcast on Ukrainian television and the stories about the orphaned children can be found posted on the foundation’s website (http://www.feldman.fund.org) for anyone interested in helping the foundation or adopting a child. The project will be managed by the foundation and the Ukrainian ministry for family, youth, and sport.
