Russian Orphan Opportunity Fund (ROOF) Charity Profile

Since 1997, ROOF has been a pioneer in providing high-quality educational opportunities for children and young adults from Russian orphanages. Our aim is to help each child or young adult by providing opportunities and encouragement to learn and grow; to take advantage of their own talents and gifts and make the most of them, working to overcome the disadvantages of their past and become more fully themselves.

At ROOF, we aim to achieve our goal through relationship. We do not expect to come up with a perfect system which is going to mould our students to what society wants them to be. Instead, through the relationships that build up between each student with his or her teachers and other staff and volunteers at ROOF, we aim to help that student learn and grow. This is why the specifics of our programmes vary from orphanage to orphanage, and why we aim to work out a specific programme for each student in our Post-Orphanage Education Centre.
