NON-GOVERNMENTAL ORGANIZATION " FAMILY FOR PERSONS WITH DISABILITY "

NGO Rodyna was founded in 2000. We have been working with children of different age and kinds with functional disabilities for nearly 20 years. Our organization has a profound experience in social work and constantly looks for additional opportunities for development of children and youth with special needs. We work hard and do our best to help everyone who needs it and are always eager to share our knowledge and experience. In 2012 we managed to achieve great success: children who couldn't visit common kindergartens and schools earlier, finally could make it. Even now 40 of them are attending these schools and nurseries and our NGO happily accompanies them. So for now we are working as day care centre for children with difficult forms of disability. Target group is children and young people with disability who have been banned from other centers and schools. Every Saturday we have meetings with youth with disabilities who are former participants of our centre. They have meeting to cook together and to make different creativities and activities. From 2018 we are working on the project "Gornyatko dobroty" which is going to be an inclusive cafe where young people with disabilities can partly work and gain new skills. Every year we are taking part in local festivals and events in the city. In 2013 we opened a volunteer department of initiative workers “out of the box” that concentrates on problems that touch our Youth families and volunteers in society. As we have around 100 volunteers in our organization we are working on topics important for them as well. Our organization is not limited with only one topic – disability, we constantly try to promote social inclusion. To fight for inclusion also means to think about something else! And we have been doing it successfully for 8 year already.
