Pirita Children\u2019s Centre<\/h1>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

A safe place for children who need support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

At the Pirita Children\u2019s Centre we support 25 children from families struggling with poverty and insecurity. Many parents work abroad; what remains are grandparents or relatives who are often overwhelmed themselves.

We give children safety, encouragement, and reliable caregivers. Through educational care, warm meals, learning assistance, and psychological support, we create a place where they can flourish.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Structure and Safety<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n

Educational Support<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

We support the children in learning, assist them with their homework, and foster their social and emotional skills. Furthermore, we prepare them for the future and actively help them seize their opportunities in secondary education and vocational training.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n
\n

Warm Meals<\/strong><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Every day there is a nutritious meal. For many children, this is the only warm meal of the day.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n
\n

Psychological Support<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Our psychologist works with the children on emotional regulation and helps them to process difficult experiences.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Leisure Activities<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Sport, play, creative activities, and outings give children the space to simply be children.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Who is the centre for?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n
\n

We work with children aged seven to thirteen who face particular challenges. Referrals come through schools, nurseries, social assistance services, or the local community.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

Many of the children grow up without their parents, experience neglect, or live in families that themselves have little support. At the children\u2019s centre they find stability, encouragement, and a sense of belonging.

My children ask me every day when they can go back to the centre. There, they feel safe and looked after. For us as a family, that\u2019s priceless.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m the one who takes care of my two grandchildren. The day center helps us tremendously. The children love going there and are always learning new things. It\u2019s a huge relief for me to know that they\u2019re in good hands \u2014and not wandering around unsupervised along the banks of the Dniester River or in other dangerous places.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m raising my three girls on my own, and it\u2019s not easy\u2014especially since they would really need the attention of a mother. At the day center, there are teachers and caregivers who help them. They show them how to take care of themselves, dress properly, and handle other everyday tasks. For me, this is a huge help. The girls really enjoy going there, and I can rest a bit knowing they\u2019re doing well.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m so glad my son attends the day center. There, he\u2019s engaged in meaningful activities, makes friends, and comes home much more balanced. At home, he is usually just on his phone and doesn\u2019t do much else. But at the center, it\u2019s different: he participates in the activities and is much more attentive. I\u2019m very grateful for the care he receives there, and I hope my youngest son will be able to go there soon too, because I know how good it would be for him.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
