In 2005, Human Rights Watch published an expose entitled "Abandoned to the State: Cruelty and Neglect in Russian Orphanages." Their investigations revealed that an estimated 800,000 children are languishing in State-run institutions. The report offers a frank characterization of the fate of Russian orphans: "Abandoned children in Russia's institutions frequently receive minimal or no health care, and scant attention to their basic needs, virtually ensuring they will achieve a debased standard of physical and mental development". Each year, more than 120,000 new children are admitted to orphanages in Russia, constituting nearly 2% of the entire population of children in Russia. The best efforts of the government limited resources are not nearly enough! While the Orphanage Facilities, Childrens Hospitals and Shelters are in various states of repair, most are far from adequate and many would be condemned by US standards. Adequate food supplies are a constant concern and malnutrition is prevalent. Damp and cool conditions, lack of proper clothing, bedding, cleaning and sanitation supplies and equipment are the norm. These factors result in underdevelopment, both physically and mentally and often lead to permanent health problems and even death. Survival is a way of life for these orphans! They go to sleep without hope and have nothing upon which they can base their dreams. "Kingfom Of Angels" is a non-for-profit organization. Every penny of your contribution will go directly to the orphaned children. Our mission is to provide basic necessities such as food, clothing and medications to abandoned children living in Russia.
