"Revival of charitable traditions in Ukraine is the basis of Ukrainian business foundations on the whole. Only uniting our forces we can change life for the better…" Lesia Stepanovna Sofiyenko, an honourable President of "Ridniy Dim" ("Native House") Charitable Fund.
Charitable Fund "Ridniy Dim" was founded at the end of 2003 on the initiative of "Energotransinvest Corporation", a group of Ukrainian enterprises and private persons. But the creating of the Fund was a logical continuation of long-term charitable activity of a number of Corporation workers.
"Every man having gained success in life must help those who are only starting their life way", - these words of Lesia Stepanovna Sofiyenko, a spiritual inspirer and initiator of the charitable activity, have become a non-formal businessmen group's motto, which was supporting Tsiuriupinsk children's home materially and treatment in Kiev's clinics.
During the work the understanding of the fact how many children understanding of the fact how many children require the help and how little the opportunities of even a group of people are was growing. And to attract more force to the charitable activity a decision about foundation of the Fund was taken.
"Energotransinvest Corporation" supported this undertaking and became one of the founders of "Ridniy Dim" Fund. The name itself declares its main aim: to make Ukraine a native home for all the children who live in it. It is necessary to make a foundation of such a house today, supporting gifted children from not sufficiently provided families and orphan children.
The main direction of work of the Fund were born from it - the basis of harmonious development of a young man.
- Creative work. For development of creative basis in children with the participation of the Fund some societies and amateur talent activity clubs and creative training clubs etc. are formed.
- Physical Health. Opening and development of physical and sport talents in children with the help of sections in different kinds of sport made by the Fund.
And probably the main thing is spiritual development full of spiritual values of future citizens. As "Bible" says: "Which is sown in humiliation rises (the 1st massage to Corinthians, chapter 15, poem 43-44). And the Fund together with Ukrainian Orthodox Church revives the primordial tradition of Christian Sunday schools in which from time immemorial children were getting ecclesiastical education together with education in ordinary schools.
Children are future of Ukraine.
And our sacred duty at the God and people is to make conditions for harmonious development and advance.
A native house should be built by all the family, and then it will become really native.
Today Corporation workers, people from other companies and private persons sharing the same ideas take part in the work of the Fund.
