Annual Budget
The need for a second center to accommodate children at risk is great, therefore in October 2013 the second Little House opens its doors. The center receives state funding, which covers up to 55% of the annual budget. For the remaining funds, we rely on donations from people who believed in our cause. The ultimate goal of the two houses is, through active work and support in the case of each child, to be permanently placed in a family environment.
