Partners in Hope is a UK charity founded in 1988 to assist and support Russian charitable organisations that are working with vulnerable children and their families, providing alternatives to institutional care.

Historically Partners in Hope has been working as an umbrella organisation supporting carefully selected projects to secure funding for their revenue costs with specific emphasis on teachers salaries since they are the most valuable asset in the organisations. 

The Projects we work with in Moscow provide psychological support to families, early diagnosis, courses in independent living skills and education to give the best possible chance to integrate children with special needs into mainstream schools

Partners in Hope works to build partnerships between corporate contacts and the projects. An Advisory Board was formed in Moscow from this donorbase in 2005 made up of Senior Partners who have funded Partners in Hope for at least three years. 

As a small, but highly effective, charity we make sure your money reaches the children that need it the most!

New Programme

WHAT?
Partners in Hope with its corporate partners aims to train 610 teachers and parents to equip them for working and caring for children and young adults with special needs, significantly increasing access to education and care.

HOW?
Working with the Centre for Curative Pedagogics, Big Change and Dobro, Partners in Hope’s role is to bring together the experts to deliver the training and the expanded services and the funders to make it happen.

WHERE?
The programme will cover Moscow and most importantly disseminate knowledge out to the regions with a focused training programme covering Rayzan, Vladimir, Pereslavl-Zalesskij, Vologda, St Petersburg, Orenburg, Krasnoyarsk, Novosibirsk, Khabarovsk, Vladivostok in the first year.  The cost of training 610 teachers and parents is $557,000 less than $1,000 per teacher/parent to create significant social impact on behalf of disabled children and young people.
