CF “Ridni”

The foundation’s history began with the creation of two family-type children’s homes (FTOs) in cooperation with the Lviv City Council. Since 2012, our foundation has been actively implementing various projects to support children from vulnerable groups.

The mission is to overcome orphanhood and develop the family institution.

Motto – Ukraine without orphans.

Our mission is to ensure that every child grows up in a loving family and has a happy future. Our greatest value is the safety and well-being of every child.

Current projects:

Main areas of work:

∙ Cross-sectoral sustainable development projects (Ridni Center for Social Support of Children and Families, Spilnita-Ridni Small Group Home, 2 family-type orphanages)
