OPEN ARMS UKRAINE

Reaching out to the broken orphans of Ukraine with Open Arms by providing loving, stable support through which they can begin new lives of hope, dreams, and healing in their Heavenly Father.  




There are over 100,000 orphans living in orphanages in Ukraine and an estimated 1,000,000 living on the streets. When these orphans "graduate" anywhere from age 14-17, most have no place to go and end up on the street, many turning to drugs, alcohol, crime and prostitution as a means of survival. Based in the Sumy region in northeastern Ukraine, Open Arms ministers to over 200 orphans, children currently in the orphanage system and "graduated" teenagers now living on their own. The ministry of Open Arms is one based, not solely on a program, but also on our relationships with the children. Our ultimate goal is to show them the love of God who calls each one of them to come as they are and find comfort in His arms.
