FORMULATION AND URGENCY OF THE PROBLEM

Annually, there are 50 000 children who run away from their houses in Russia

More than 70% of this number form teenagers

between 12 and 18 years old

Inability to support children materially, insolubility of conflict situations, and misunderstanding are some of the reasons why children run away from their homes and never return.

This is the issue of the day since it’s involved the whole world.

For instance, in the United States the number of “children-runaways” comes to 1 million every year.

Unfortunately, there are no effectives measures to prevent such kind of escapes.

That’s why we suggest social project “The Family-Home Aid” (The FHA).

THE AIM AND OBJECTIVES OF THE FHA

The aim of The Family-Home Aid Social Project is to create boarding-houses which give children and their parents moneyed assistance and help in solving the conflicts.

The objectives that correspond with the aim: to determine the main type of The FHA Project activity; to determine the age of children with whom The FHA

will work; to determine the organization of The Family-Home Aid; to work out a plan of project’s realization, including

advertising and searching for the sponsors for financing The FHA Project ;

THE MAIN TYPE OF THE FHA ACTIVITY

THE CONCLUSION

To extirpate the reasons is more wisely than to strive with their consequences. Therefore, it is better to help children now than

to wait until they become “underprivileged”.

The Family-Home Aid Social Project can be realized in every country of the world because its aim is to save the most

important value: the Family.
