Give a child the opportunity for a family and a future.

Ukraine

In Ukraine:

Bethany Social Services Ukraine was established in 1998 to provide family preservation programs to children and families in need. Families in crisis receive support, counseling, and material resources. Bethany offers social work training programs and is currently involved in an HIV/AIDS project that trains homecare workers. Bethany provides material and social service support to needy families through the Sponsorship program.

Our greatest need in the Ukraine currently is more funding for family strengthening and preservation services. If you feel compelled to help the children and families of the Ukraine, please designate your donation to Ukraine or sponsor a child or family in the Ukraine through our sponsorship program. Your gifts will strengthen families and protect children.

Sponsor a child or a family in need:

Can you extend a hand in love to a child or family
in need? Families and communities benefit in
tangible ways from sponsorship. Through Bethany,
your money provides direct and specific care
based on the individual needs of a family. When
you sponsor through Bethany, you will join a group
of sponsoring individuals to provide the level of
care that is needed.
