We will help 8 teenagers from an orphanage learn to live independently.

This is Imil. He is 17 years old and lives in the Phoenix Center in Bashkortostan. He came here in 2024 after the reorganization of the institution in Ufa. His childhood was not easy: his mother raised him alone, but she was deprived of parental rights, and in 2023 she passed away.

Today, there are adults рядом with him who support him and help him move forward. Imil is an open and active teenager: he does sports, enjoys online games, and since 2025 has been helping at the Center. It is important for him to become independent and confident in himself.

An important step toward this is participating in the training apartment program. Here, teenagers learn what graduates of orphanages often lack: how to plan their day, buy groceries, cook, manage money, make decisions, and take responsibility for them. It is a safe environment where they can try independent living before graduation and not be left alone with difficulties.

Eight teenagers, including Imil, take part in the program. We are raising funds for eight months of the project.

For Imil, this is a chance to prepare for adult life and stand firmly on his own feet.
