Sometimes, we get into a situation where we want to help, but we do not know how. And many, on the contrary, begin to try to help children's homes spontaneously - they collect, bring and transfer things to children. In this case, they often have difficulties, problems and misunderstandings. Why? Because the question of helping orphanages is not solved in a hurry and requires a certain experience. Therefore, do not run immediately to the nearest orphanage. Contact the volunteer organization in your city, gather information and approach the matter responsibly and seriously.
The state claims that the boarding schools and orphanages in our country are fully provided with everything necessary. Meanwhile, the general condition of most state boarding schools for orphans remains deplorable. What is missing for modern orphanages? Basically, there is a constant shortage of medicines, personal hygiene items, medical equipment, which is almost out of date in almost all boarding schools. In the province in orphanages, repairs were last conducted in the fifties - then it is with this in the first place to help. But always, before helping a particular orphanage, it's better to come and see everything yourself - the situation is very different everywhere.
Assistance from the state and sponsorship investments
There is an opinion that children's homes are already overcrowded with both state and sponsorship assistance. In fact, this is far from the case. The regional budget allocates insufficient money, especially in small towns and villages. Much, of course, depends on the leader: an active, "punchy" director who is not shy to ask for help from local authorities and in various charitable organizations can keep the situation at a high enough level. But such leaders are a rarity.
The main flow of all charitable funds comes from capitals and large cities. So the closer the children's home is to them, the more volunteer charitable organizations give them their help. Depends much on the proximity of large enterprises - often they take the orphanage under their care. If the orphanage is in a deep province, there are no large factories and plants nearby, and the building outside looks dilapidated - be sure that this institution needs help exactly.
Will the help reach children?
There is an opinion that the administration of orphanages is completely stealing. How, wanting to help children, to distinguish the honest leader from the impure at hand? It is important to understand: even if the most good director is given a permanent opportunity to steal, then there is a risk that he will sooner or later at least a small amount, but pokarmanit. Modern children's homes make calculations only through the personal account in the bank. That is, control is inevitable, it will be very difficult to steal. The manager must indicate the money from the account in the accountable documentation - when and how much was withdrawn, what was spent. If you are going to help with money, do it only through the bank.
Another thing is that when you transfer large amounts from you may be required to fill out a tax return. This is the main reason why good intentions do not reach action. This is how anonymous volunteers make their offerings, not even mentioning their names. Or they simply unload boxes at the gates of the orphanage with gifts for children - and leave. If you really want to help orphans - do it openly. After all, unaccountable gifts in the form of money or things - a temptation for management to take them to themselves. For them there is no need to report anywhere, so why disappear, they say, good? So, do good in the open, but be sure to do it! Orphaned children are not spoiled by attention and gifts, in whatever large city they live. What can we say about orphans in a remote province. Do not doubt - your help will never be superfluous for them.
