The problems large families face in Lithuania

It is practically impossible for a large family with small children to buy or rent a suitable house:

•    there are no long-term renting traditions in
Lithuania;
•    Hosts who rent houses do not want families with small children.
•    majority of large families can not apply for a loan at banks due to their income;
•    the public housing that is offered is mostly
unusable and unsafe.

The nature of aid

•    We help families do to disaster acquire
or repair their dwelling place;
•    We help parents get a specialty  and find
a better  permanent job;
•    We counsel  and represent families  in courts
and help them with legal documents;
•    We pay for their treatment if needed;
•    We provide households with minimum
household appliances and firewood;
•    We buy the necessary learning tools and clothes for school so their children would not be looked down;
•    We send their children to summer camps. For most of them it is the best unforgettable childhood experience.

Who is entitled to support?

•    Only the orderly large families qualify for support.
•    We gather as much information as possible
before providing support.
•    We work closely with the mayors of cities and districts, neighborhoods and social care workers.
•    Together we look for the best solution for each individual family.

learning tools;
