Emergency aid for Ukrainian orphanages

With our mentoring project, we accompany orphans in evacuated Ukrainian orphanages in a very personal way. We train mentors who give the orphans individual attention, support them according to their needs and help them integrate in Germany. A personal relationship with the mentor helps the child to better cope with the trauma they have experienced.

Health care for orphans

We help orphans with disabilities in Russia to receive adequate medical care and rehabilitation. To this end, we contribute, for example, to the costs of a 24-hour escort for the orphan's inpatient treatment, so that the child is not left alone with his or her fears in the hospital. In addition, we provide orphans with care and medical aids. Help in the health field can not only reduce their suffering, but also increase their chances of adoption.

Help for Ukrainian orphanages

We organise psychological help for orphans in the Ukrainian orphanages so that children can better cope with the traumatic experiences they have had. In addition, we provide them with goods for their daily needs. If necessary and possible, we evacuate Ukrainian orphanages to Germany and continue to care for them here.

Our vision

NGO "Take my hand e.V." - our vision

Take my hand e.V. is a young non-profit association with a long history. The fate of orphans has been close to our hearts for a long time. Since 2003, we have volunteered to help orphans in post-Soviet states. Traumatic experiences, attachment disorders, limited access to medicine and education are just some of the problems they face.

In 2020 we founded a non-profit association "Take my hand e.V." in Munich (Germany). The goal of our charity is to support children in post-Soviet
orphanages and after they leave them in health care, education and emergency situations.

Our current focus is on orphans in Ukraine and Russia, who are even more vulnerable because of the war. In addition, in response to the devastating earthquakes in Turkey, we have launched an aid project to help children in the earthquake area.

Thanks to monthly donations we are able to help the children sustainably and in the long term. And even if we only make the world a little bit better, we can significantly improve the world for these specific children in their current situation - that is our vision.
