Helping Graduate Orphans

This work is the direct result of building trust and long term relationships with orphans, while they were living in the orphanage. Yan and Nadya Boldyrev invested in the lives of many orphans and when these young people graduated they had no one to turn to for help. They trusted Yan and Nadya and came to them with life’s challenges asking for direction.

The number of graduate orphans that do not know how to survive or make it on their own is overwhelming. The specific group of graduates that this program is designed for is the young moms (and dads) that get pregnant and have no idea how to parent. These young people do not want to lose their children to the orphanages, but need help to learn how to be loving parents and support their children in every way.

Abortion

Facts about Abortion in Russia:

• By age 40 most Russian women have had 8 abortions.

• 2008, there were almost as many abortions in Russia as there were births – with 1,714,000 children born and 1,236,400 terminations.

• Russia has the highest abortion rate in the world, 53.7 per 1,000 women - a legacy of Soviet times when contraception was not widely available and women turned to abortion as their main form of birth control.

• The Russian government is considering ways to cut the country's high number of abortions in an attempt to tackle the post-Soviet demographic decline, which threatens its economic prosperity.
