Our Programs
Victoria Children Foundation works in four program areas:

1) Abandonment prevention. VCF implements projects aimed at abandonment and orphanhood prevention, reduction of the number of children who lose opportunity to grow in their biological families.

2) Family placement services. VCF supports all forms of family placement for orphaned and abandoned children and assesses effectiveness of each form for the wellbeing of a child. VCF works in cooperation with public agencies and local communities to establish a comprehensive system of family placement services; assists in reorganising the work of residential homes and orphanages; provides resources for selection, training and support of foster families.
 - "Family placement services for orphan children" program. The main objective of the Foundation is to ensure an opportunity for each and every child to be raised in a loving family. The program is in close co-operation with institutions all over the country that work in the sphere of family placement and social orphanage prevention. The Foundation is constantly developing a wide scope of activities within this program, which include informing the populace about family placement services for orphan children; selection, training, and ongoing support for those families that adopt orphans; education and training of professionals in the sphere of child protection as well as creation of special handbooks on the subject.
- "“Villages for Children” The project is co-operating with “SOS-Villages for Children Committee of Russian Federation” in building a special “SOS Village for Children” in  Vologda, Russia. The program participants are also busy with building an independent “Village for Children” in Krasnodarskiy Kray (Krasnodar County), which will provide orphan kids with surroundings very close to a real family".

3) Social and life skills development. VCF implements projects, which allow children who have to live in residential homes and institutions and who are in foster care, to develop key competences, necessary to succeed in life and become productive adults.
 - "Social adaptation of orphan children". This program helps children from orphanages to develop their social activity and form essential social skills. Socio-psychological training, competition, festivals are organized for inmates of children’s houses. A special social online network was established that allows orphan children to receive help, support, share some interesting information and get answers on any kind of questions they have. Inmates also participate in vocational camps where they integrate with “family” children. The program puts high priority on providing support for tutors and mentors working with children and on developing volunteer activities among the youth.
 - "Strategy of Success". The primary objective of this program is to create conditions for gifted orphan children to develop their skills. This includes those children whose talent has not been fully exposed yet. Programs of early diagnostics and development of children’s talents that are based on active participation approach, follow up by tutors and providing psychological support to children - all help to maintain positive attitude towards life of orphan children, to form successful, socially active, competitive self-developing personality
 - "Foothold". This program helps to maintain children labor education and career guidance through organizing job orientation courses, excursions to different enterprises, labor camps. These activities are aimed at providing children with necessary materials and outfitting them for future working environments.  This helps kids to evaluate their own potential and strengths, choose future profession that would be of their own interest and would go down a treat. Within this program, the Fund also organizes training programs for specialists working in children care organizations that would provide them with educational and methodological materials on job-orientation activities for orphan children.
 - "House for decent life". The primary objective of this program is to improve actual living conditions of orphan children, provide them with healthy food, improve their security, develop  skills of domestic self-service and healthy life-style among kids.  Within this project, Victoria Foundation offers refurbishment of orphanages in disrepair by providing maintenance, sport and entertainment equipment, furniture, kitchen and laundry facilities.
