Given from certain circumstances to orphanages, children from an early age understand the cruelty of real life. Fortunately, many children are taken to foster homes, where they receive the love that they lacked so much. According to official data for 2018, the number of orphans has decreased to 51 thousand. There has been a positive trend when compared with 2016, when the number of orphans reached 482 thousand. This article will talk about children's homes in Krasnodar.

How to help orphans in orphanages?
Orphanages in Krasnodar, as in any other city, need help. How to help orphans?
Toys, hygiene products, clothes - this is, perhaps, understandable to everyone. But no less important and serious support will be the payment of highly qualified specialists who can help children with certain developmental disabilities. Alas, only a few think about the second point. To cure a disease or “put out” it to the stage of remission is the best gift for a little man, better than a soft toy or a T-shirt.
To help children in orphanages, you need to find out specifically from the administration of the educational institution about the lack of certain items. It is possible (though unlikely) that money from the budget has already been allocated for the services of specialists, but everything else is in short supply. It is important to remember that there is nothing better for a little angel who ends up in an orphanage, like the appearance of a loving family in which he will be happy.
