Saving the world, one child at a time.

UAC'S Ukrainian Program currently serves thousands of orphaned and displaced children in the Odessa region. We provide aid to children in more than twenty separate institutions. We offer a wide range of direct services including nutrition, primary healthcare, psychological counseling, and educational programs for both staff and children.  Please join us in our continuing effort to relieve the pain and suffering of these needy children half a world away. You can make a difference!

 

UAC'S Orphaned Teen Scholarship Program

The economic reality faced by a 17 year old being released from an orphanage is bleak. What do they do? Without help, the scenario is scary. Options include prostitution, crime, drug abuse, or suicide. With no family or stable support system, they have little hope. Our Scholarship Program is designed to prepare the teenage orphans for higher education and life management in the outside world. Click here to learn more.

May, 2012 Success Story of the Month: Restoring Orphans' Housing Rights

UAC Ukraine works hard to ensure that all of our orphans’ rights are upheld and not violated by corrupt government officials, swindlers or thieves. When Scholarship Program students Vera and Lena Dengub (pictured, right) learned that their inherited apartments had been sold illegally, they turned to UAC's lawyer Tatiana Taraschanskaya (pictured, left) for help.  Please click here to read about Tatiana's tireless battle to defend the Dengub children's housing rights.
