How do you cook for yourself? How do you pay utility bills? How do you find a job and avoid scammers? What should you do if payday is still a week away, but you’ve already run out of money?
For adults, these questions might seem basic. But many teenagers from orphanages don’t know the answers—previously, everyday tasks were handled for them. After graduation, this lack of knowledge can lead to debt, losing their home, or losing money.
That’s why, for six months, the Alisa Foundation will hold social adaptation classes at the orphanage. Together with a mentor, the teens will discuss real-life situations, practice making decisions, and learn where to turn for help.
We are raising funds to cover the mentor’s work for all six months and to purchase everything needed for the classes during this period: paper, pens, cards, and other materials for practical exercises.
Help us run these classes. Let’s give these teens a chance to figure out these important issues before they have to face them alone.
