St. David's Children Society
(UK, 509163) Browse events
YTD Raised: £602.00
(UK, 509163) St. Davids Children Society is the longest serving adoption agency in Wales. The children we place for adoption are amongst the most marginalised in society. Their ages range from 2 to 10 years of age. Some are brothers and sisters who need to be placed together in a new adoptive family. Others are children with disabilities, with learning difficulties, or from minority communities. All of these children have been neglected, ill treated and had their attachments disrupted. The United Nations Declaration on the Rights of the Child promotes the right of family life for every child. In our 65 year history we have placed over 2,000 for adoption, delivering this fundamental right to each one of these children. It takes approximately two years for each child to settle with their new adoptive family. Many of these children are understandably reluctant to make attachments to adults. Past experience has taught them not to trust their carers. With support from our adoption team they do learn how to set these fears aside, gradually rebuilding their young, fractured lives. Providing long term support to such placements requires highly skilled, specialised staff. We rely on your generosity to continue to provide high quality support services to these children, work that is so vital in ensuring placement success. By making a donation you will play a significant part in making a very positive difference to these children’s lives. Thank you.

The Lotus Children's Centre Charitable Trust
(UK, 1123207) Browse events
YTD Raised: £578.04The Lotus Children's Centre Charitable Trust is dedicated to providing care, accommodation support and education to orphaned, abused, and abandoned children in Mongolia. The Lotus Children's Centre was set up in 1993 by Australian Didi Kalika, who started simply by giving food and basic medical care to children living on the streeets of Ulaanbaatar. She soon realised that more was needed, and with the help of friends built a small home for the children in the ger district of Yarmag, on the outskirts of the capital. Harsh economic conditions in Mongolia resulted in more babies and children being abandoned, and the project grew. In 1997 Didi founded a kindergarten, and this was then followed by The Lotus Primary School. Since then Lotus has cared for and educated up to 150 children at any one time, in small family units each looked after by a housemother. As the children have grown up there has been an increasing emphasis on vocational training programmes to prepare them for adulthood. Lotus also runs a Guesthouse in Ulaanbaatar staffed almost exclusively by ex-Lotus children, which not only provides employment as the older children leave school, but also generates profits which contribute towards the running costs of the Centre. In 2009 Didi Kalika was awarded the Order of Australia for her services to the street children of Mongolia.
