Local Government and Business Contribute to Child Welfare Programs in Tomsk
In early March, the USAID-sponsored Assistance to Russian Orphans (ARO) program signed agreements with two regional social administrations and the oil company Vostokgazprom to conduct social grants competitions in the Tomsk Oblast. The grant competitions, which ARO will co-sponsor with the regional administrations, will fund up to ten new child abandonment prevention initiatives in the Kozhevnikovo and Shegarskiy districts. The cooperative venture with Vostokgazprom will offer similar grant opportunities to child welfare specialists in the Kargosokskiy and Parabelskiy districts.
