Ternopil Regional Charitable Foundation “Future for Orphans” (Associated Member)

In 2005, four graduates of the Koropets Boarding School joined efforts on a voluntary basis with caring individuals to support children living in the Koropets boarding school. A year later, they officially registered a charitable foundation.
