Our Mission

The conditions in Republic of Georgia's state orphanages are so harsh that many children prefer to take their chances on the street.

In most of the former republics of the former Soviet Union, economic dislocation has ensured that children in state institutions have not fared well. The orphanages receive very little public or private support: children and staff survive primarily on intermittent food, bedding and clothing assistance from international donors.

Divine Child Foundation (DCF) was created in order to help provide this assistance. We are guided by a set of very explicit goals as we are working with the Saguramo Orphanage House:

• To provide a safe, secure, and stable environment for the children of the Saguramo Orphanage
• To facilitate educational opportunities for the children of the Saguramo orphanage
• To provide counseling and support for the emotional and spiritual needs of the children
• To encourage and supplement the educational opportunities of the children with vocational training so that each and every child can be self-reliant once they reach the age of 17
• To enrich the lives of children at the Saguramo orphanage by continued participation in the life of the orphanage and by addressing its every day needs
• To develop DCF’s principles and goals as a model for helping other orphanages in the Republic of Georgia
