Report

Adults with intellectual disabilities who take part in our carpentry workshop need access to a range of equipment -- this allows them to learn new skills and gradually move on to more complex tasks. For this, we needed a wood lathe.

Thanks to your support, we were able to purchase it. Now participants are learning to work with shape and volume, mastering woodturning, and developing precision and confidence in their movements. They can not only repair and assemble items, but also create new elements from scratch.

This expands the range of tasks in the workshop and gives participants more opportunities for growth and development. Thank you to everyone who supported this fundraiser -- it became possible because of you!

About the campaign

Need equipment for carpentry workshop for people with special needs

What adults with intellectual disabilities can do in a carpentry workshop:

Denis repairs stools, carefully gluing and screwing the legs back in place. In his hands, things become whole again and serve for many years. Varvara saws and sands the pieces for the mosaic, then burns designs onto keychains. Everything is neat, precise, and beautiful! Borya drills holes for hooks and practices sawing with a guide, which requires incredible precision and patience.

In our carpentry workshop, adults with mental disabilities learn new skills and create incredible things with their hands. It’s always noisy here, with the smell of wood, focus, and responsibility in the air. We are proud of how the participants master various woodworking techniques, develop their skills, and build confidence.

Right now, we really need more equipment and supplies. Every donation you make is a step towards helping the participants continue to learn carpentry, improve their skills, and most importantly, believe in themselves. Your contribution will create the conditions for their growth, ensuring a safe and productive working environment.
