My dear, beloved, family of “Aratta”

Shchors charity “Aratta”- a branch of the Chernihiv Region charity “Aratta”.
Shchors is a small picturesque town with a population of about 11230 people. Many people able to work want to get a job, but nowadays it is not easy to find one. The railways are almost finished now. The plant which produced electrical goods is no longer working. The unemployment rate is about 40 %. But it’s much harder for the disabled kids, orphans and low-income families. The news about the opening of Chernihiv Region Charity “Aratta” branch in Shchors was greeted with enthusiasm both by the public and by the newly-created staff.
 

With an open heart and with love
For me “Aratta” is… the possibility to discover myself; my friends and I; my everyday happy life; my start to the future…

To save for the future generation

More than 300 items from XVI – XX centuries were brought here from different regions of Ukraine: The Carpathians, the south of Ukraine and other parts of the country.
 

With an open heart towards families with many children
I don’t understand why but nowadays families with many children are thought of as being unfit. They are considered to be poor, badly dressed, hungry and cruel; and the children often fall into bad company. People don’t understand why women give birth to three or more children. They feel sorry for her and try to find excuses for her like she has been unlucky or she is an alcoholic and she doesn’t care. Sometimes people think that she believes in God too much and that’s she has so many children.
 

Salutary way out for “children from the street”
Chernihiv Regional Charity “Aratta” conducted a round-table discussion about the project “Children from the Street”. The goal of this project is to prevent negative phenomena among teenagers from so-called risk groups and the socialization of these teenagers. The youth club for 13-18 year old children is intended to instil in them a feeling that they are needed, to encourage their interests and to develop their abilities.
