How does your donation help?
There are thousands of kids in Estonia who lack adequate emotional support. Your donation helps to provide support, role models and friendship to more children.
Our programme is for children who feel lonely and excluded due to a temporary crisis, long-term illness, difficult family relationships, special needs or any other reason. The programme is built on a one-on-one friendship and weekly meetings between the child and an older sister/brother. The multi-year programme entails undertaking fun and educational activities together and can lead to a beautiful friendship that lasts a lifetime.
Our volunteers are bright-eyed young people who are committed to the well-being of the children and who aim to bring more care and love to the world. All our volunteer Older Sisters and Brothers have received preparatory training. Our experience shows that a safe one-on-one friendship and supportive activities with a volunteer make for the best way to provide additional emotional support to a child. We support the development of a strong friendship through various training courses, covisions, joint events, individual counselling and much more.
- A permanent donation of € 5 gives children the gift of a wonderful Christmas.
- A permanent donation € 10 will help make our group events more diverse and fun for the children.
- A permanent donation of € 25 euros will help expand our NGO into a nation-wide program, so that every child in need of support would have a friend of their own to help them cope with loneliness and various challenges.

MTÜ Vanem Vend, Vanem Õde
MTÜ Vanem Vend, Vanem Õde missioon on toetada ühiskonnas sõprust, eeskuju ja täiendavat emotsionaalset tuge vajavaid lapsi, tagada nende õigus olla ära kuulatud, ennetada nende riskirühma sattumist ja soodustada nende riskirühmast välja toomist, luues seeläbi tugevad eeldused nende kasvamiseks terve enesehinnanguga edumeelseteks inimesteks. Me viime kokku täiskasvanud vabatahtliku tugiisiku ja tuge vajava lapse ning loome keskkonna, kus nende sõprus ja nad ise saaksid areneda. Meie tegevuse keskmes on üks ühele sõprus, üksteise toetamine ja oma kogemuste kaudu eeskujuks olemine.

This is why many families need advice and support to cope with the condition and treatment of their child. The Estonian Association of Parents of Children with Cancer supports all families in Estonia that have or have had a child diagnosed with cancer.
