Our projects are intended to give the beneficiaries a perspective

We choose our projects carefully and ensure that help arrives where it is needed the most. We monitor the progress of each project with the support of our partners on the spot and regularly receive reporting updates on the project status. By integrating the Raiffeisen network, the H. Stepic CEE Charity guarantees that the needed help arrives quickly, directly and in an unbureaucratic way.

The voluntary commitment of many Raiffeisen employees worldwide makes it possible that the Charity has no administrative expenses and all of the raised money is passed directly to our charitable projects.

All projects are handled with the utmost respect towards our beneficiaries and take all local needs into consideration.
We continue to work intensively on new projects to give hope and the chance for a better life.

Every donation is welcome - even small contributions can make a big change and improve the situation for children, adolescents and women in the respective CEE country.

More comfort for Opochka’s children

Opochka in Russia counts around 11,000 inhabitants, 70 of whom live in the town’s orphanage. Currently, boys and girls from six to 19 years live there.
