In Ukraine, many elderly individuals endure dire living conditions marked by poverty and lack of care. We rescue and welcome these seniors into our nursing home where they find refuge, round-the-clock care, and companionship that rekindles hope and inspires a renewed zest for life.

Orphanage
At Mishpacha, our girls and boys receive five daily meals, medical and psychological care, and access to educational and extracurricular activities. What truly sets us apart is our family-centered approach: the children live with a mother and father who act as surrogate parents and provide loving, compassionate care, actively molding a better present and future for Odessa’s children.

Providing therapy to the children in our orphanage who have endured unimaginable traumas is paramount to their healing and well-being.
