Providing a home for my baby
20-06-2012
In Ekaterinburg, every three days or so, a young mother abandons her child after birth, leaving him or her behind in the maternity ward. The key problem is always the same. There is a shortage of temporary residences where lonely, needy and often adolescent mothers can take refuge, pull themselves together and undergo a course of psychological and social rehabilitation. Thanks to the efforts of several nonprofit organisations, the regional and municipal welfare centres and the European Union, 300 mothers in need have been supported in the last three years and many children who might have been abandoned are today with their original families. What follows are some stories from the Temporary Housing for Mothers in Need project.
This is part of a series of features on projects funded by the EU’s Regional Programme, prepared by journalists and photographers on the ground or the ENPI Info Centre, available in English and Russian. (EU Neighbourhood Info)
