The Slavianka Help charitable foundation, established by Russian compatriots from Montreal, has been providing assistance to inmates of orphanages in Russia and Ukraine for five years. Parcels from Slavyanka purchased on donations from representatives of the Russian community of Canada and sponsors are regularly received at orphanages, hospitals and nursing homes in Donbass, the press service of organizations of Russian compatriots of Canada reports.
The head of the fund, Ksenia Klyatskaya, said that the organization’s activities began with sending clothes to orphanages. Soon, the fund began to help the children of Donbass, who suffered from hostilities and the difficult economic situation in the region.
Today Slavianka Help collaborates with orphanages, hospitals, special schools, nursing homes and other social institutions in Donetsk, Kramatorsk, Gorlovka and other settlements of Donbass. Children receive clothes, books, daily necessities, school supplies.
The head of the fund acknowledged that due to military operations and the cutting off of the regions of Donbass from Ukraine, the delivery of humanitarian supplies is complicated with a number of difficulties.
