Boys Orphanage—BART
The orphanage welcomes children of different ages from diverse, often vulnerable backgrounds. Most of them have lost their parents or live in difficult family situations and require special support. The children live in a clean, supervised environment where they receive a basic education,
a balanced diet, and regular medical care.
Each child is monitored individually in order to meet their specific needs, whether educational, emotional, or social. Equal emphasis is placed on their social integration, discipline, and personal development.
