CERI’s critical programs help find safe foster homes for orphaned children and teach youth aging out of orphanages the skills they need to avoid falling victim to human trafficking. The goal is to help youth become self-sufficient, healthy, and stable adults. CERI programs in Eastern Europe also equip youth with resources to meet their daily needs, as well as life-skills training and mentorship. CERI acts as a senior advisor to the Moldovan government regarding social service standards and, as a result, is making a profound difference in the way Eastern Europe’s orphans and children are cared for and protected.
