Social Programs

If you ever notice people beside you whose lives are miserable due to difficult circumstances, the eyes of homeless children and orphans must especially touch your heart…
Our organization works at building relationships with and providing for the needs of such children. They need attention, patience and financial support.

Orphanage graduates project:
Statistics. According to official returns of the Statistics Authority, every year 250 - 300 children in the Transcarpathian region become orphans. They spend their childhood in specialized state institutions.
At the age of 15-16 these children start their adult life. Used to being so called “state children”, they are not prepared for their new life, and find it very difficult. Sixteen-year-old teenagers face their problems alone, without any adults' help or support. That is why most of them end up in prison, gipsy camps, mental homes or just on the street being rejected by society and abused.
History. In March 2001 "Nehemiah" team began to support Verinika, 'a graduate from the school – Domboki orphanage (Mukachevo district). Now she works at a clothes factory, lives in a dormatory being able to do housekeeping by herself. Later Sergey and Anzhela, groupmates of Veronika, also began their independent life. Besides this, Sergey and Anzhela make beautiful doilies, embroideries and table - cloths with their own hands, and later on sell those. It is very encouraging for us that they all are learning to live their life based on Christian morals, established on a firm foundation.

Activities. Our goals for orphan children:
1. Find a job (or educational establishment) and a place to live.
2. Teach housekeeping and personal hygiene.
3. Grow in character and worldview development based on Christian values.
4. Prepare for a healthy family life and professional carrier.

Social appartment project
In September of 2003 we established a social apartment for 4 orphanage graduates. It is a place with a home environment, where teenage girls live under the supervision of several behavioral teachers (who stay with them in shifts). Each orphan participant is willing to mature and change, following the rules established together by all inhabitants of the home. The program for every girl lasts 1-2 years, until they graduate from their educational establishment, find a job and have a place to live.
Other girls that still study at the orphanage come to visit on weekends and hilidays. For some of them this apartment will become their home after they graduate from the orphanage.

Dorm project
In September of 2004 we also started helping 6 other girls who graduated from the Domboki orphanage and do not have parents. These girls have never lived in their own family. Because of that their personality development is retarded from their physiology development (which is absolutely normal). Today they have jobs at a special clothes factory (for people with hearing disabilities) in Uzhgorod. The girls live independently in the factory’s dorm, and are being regularly trained in all developmental areas mentioned above. The girls desire to overcome the destructive power of their orphan past, catch up with their contemporaries and become normal members of society.
Girls Roza, Anya, Tanya, Natasha, Liuba, Kristina.

Special project
Special destiny awaited for Natasha. She came to ask for help in June of the year 2002. Being 21 years old, in the 6th month of pregnancy, and having no relatives she had been turned out to be in the street by herself. Now she and her daughter Andriana live with a family of Christians not far from Mukachevo.
Luba (she is 19) also doesn’t have parents, and is not married. Luba gave birth to her son Vitaliy on the 26th of December of 2005. This little family lives at the dorm alone, without any support. We are trying to help her during this very hard period of her life.

Our plans for the future
We are deeply convinced that orphan children can have a full-value life if they are supported at the beginning and most complicated stage of their independent life.
We therefore plan to establish a Center of Social Help for the graduates of orphanages in the Transcarpathian region. We also mean to help orphan children experience a family environment and get healthy training in all areas of personal development.

How you can help
We would be very grateful to persons and organizations that, seeing the value of each human life, will make a decision to help financially, through encouraging letters, prayers and goods (clothing, foodstuff, books, cooking battery, bed cloth, stationery etc. ) .

Monthly support of one girl of the Dorm project is $30

Social programs of our partner organization and friends:

*This information is published by us not with the aim of advertisement of the center, but in order to inform persons, who might be interested in supporting it’s activity or adopt the experience our friends gained.

Founded on the12th of September 1998 in Kovalenkovka (Poltavskaya r-n, Ukraine) with the aim of rehabilitation of drug and alcohol addicted people. Director – Ivan Klochan.

The main rehabilitation method is – work therapy and learning Christian values. In the program: work at the farm, prayer, Bible study and living in a united body. The center is subdued to an accurate daily routine and discipline. Residence at the center is exclusively voluntary. In case if a person refuses to submit to the rules – he (she) is to be dismissed from the center unconditionally. A standard rehabilitation course lasts 6 months (small quantity of people can stays for longer term). The results are just superb: out of 450 people who attended the center 80 completed the whole course, returned to normal life, reestablished their families, some became ministers and even planted churches.
Unique peculiarity of the center is that, first of all, rehabilitation (including accommodation and nourishment) is free (!). Secondly, the team of ministers (workers) of the center at the head of director labors absolutely free of charge, permanently being present at the center and physically working together with the rehabilitants. Considering the absence of permanent funding source without exaggeration it can be called an exploit. One of the main features of the center is the cessation of abstinence pains during the first days of stay! About 90% of people quit smoking and are being set free from depression and other symptoms due to abstinence from drugs. This repeating supernatural influence is ascribed to the action of the Holy Spirit.
Farming, (which includes horn and small cattle, poultry and different crops) is constantly developing, providing the center with main agricultural products. But natural economy of the center is not sufficient for paying for utilities, transportation, medicine, household devices, food products and other expenses that require cash.
Good reputation of the center was established at local authority and militia during 6 years of existence; there were cases when state social services direct people to the center for rehabilitation. In the beginning most of neighbors were cautious about the presence of drug addicted people, but after a bus stop was build by their efforts, neighbors even started applying for help.
Information about the leader. Ivan Klochan, 1969 y.b. In the past conducted immoral life style, which led him to complete degradation of person, alcohol addiction and usage of light drugs. Ivan was about to commit suicide. He repented and started serving Christ in 1996. After graduating from Nehemiah bible school Ivan felt called to go in places where people are “held captive in their spirit, soul and body”. During two years he attended a prison where church existed, he was offered a role of spiritual mentor there. But Ivan realized that after jail release many of those who received Jesus were lost among people, it was hard for them to come back to normal life. In the process of serving such people he the idea of creating a rehab center for addicted people was realized.
Ivan is a good family man: wife Inna, daughters Masha, Nastia, Anya and son Vanya. Family lives on the outskirts of Kremenchuk (60 km from rehab center) that is why Ivan often has to sacrifice his family time for salvation of other people. But love towards those under wardship doesn’t allow him to settle down and God gives him special grace in bringing up his children.
Economy of the center, ministers and their families need a special prayer and financial support.
