At the crisis center for pregnant women and women with children “House for Mom”

Three women found help, including a Congolese woman with a baby girl. Three mothers with their babies began an independent life. At the moment, two pregnant women and eight women with children live in the “House for Mom”.

In addition, the Synodal Department for Church Charity and Social Service is organizing the second stage of assistance to flood victims in the Krasnodar Territory. Now that the need for humanitarian assistance has disappeared, the main problem for residents of the affected areas is housing, especially for the elderly and disabled.

The money allocated by the state is not enough. The Synodal Department works closely with volunteers of the Tradition Foundation , the Dobry and DROM volunteer camps, and the Build Krymsk volunteer project . Volunteers are currently helping flood victims restore, dry out and repair homes. They also collect and check on the spot requests from citizens in need of help, after which the Church Charity Department transfers money to purchase the necessary building materials and pay workers.

Some of the requests have already been granted. At the beginning of October, the department transferred 73,683 rubles. for the renovation of a house in which three elderly disabled people of the second group live. Another 100,000 rubles. were sent to organize the drying of houses in Krymsk (to pay for gas for heat guns, gasoline, food and accommodation for volunteers).
