families reject their children immediately. And only five of these nine live more

rest of them are raised and educated in orphanages.

this organization is to protect the rights of the disabled as guaranteed by the

Constitution of the Russian Federation.

RUSSIANGO „Parus Nadezhdy“ for people with disabilities.

September 2020. 12 months. ICYE Russia/"LASTOCHKI“, in Samara

PROJECT DESCRIPTION

Samara Public Non-profit Organisation for Disabled People "Parus Nadezhdy"

was established in 2001. It is affiliated to the Samara Regional Public

Organisation of the All-Russian Society of the Disabled. Their mission is to

provide integration for disabled children and adults in the region of Samara into

society and to promote the ideas of an independent life philosophy and a social

approach to disability. The main goals of the project are to protect the rights and

interests of disabled people, to provide disabled children with equal

opportunities to participate in all spheres of social life, to integrate disabled

people into society.

Samara Public Non-profit Organization for Disabled People "Parus Nadezhdy" is

one such organisations. It was in 2003 established to help disabled children and

young people to achieve and maintain higher levels of independence and

personal fulfilment.

The staff of the organisation includes 3 people aged of 35-40 years old. The

but unfortunately could not be implemented without volunteers' help.

RUSSIANGO „Parus Nadezhdy“ for people with disabilities.

September 2020. 12 months. ICYE Russia/"LASTOCHKI“, in Samara

PROJECT DESCRIPTION

Taking into consideration the speed of development of civil society in Russia and often people’s "deafness" to the disabled, Parus

nadezhdy has decided to host European volunteers within the EVS. They have already hosted more than 20 EVS volunteers from

different countries: United Kingdom, Germany, Austria, Belgium, France, Luxembourg etc. By this project and prepared volunteers

activities we want promote healthy lifestyles, social inclusion and active participation. Show local community but also at

international level that disabled people are among us and sometimes need some support but mostly they just need to feel needed

and feel as equal citizen.

Disabled people in Russia come across many difficulties. Due to the unstable economic situation in Russia, disabled people are

included into the group of "socially unprotected". As a result, most of the Russian disabled have to spend their lives at home,

having no access to education, culture, arts, etc. The situation with the disabled children is even worse. Starting from their

childhood, they already understand that they are not like their friends - they are "different" and the people around them give them

to feel it at every step. They can not see, hear or play like the others. During their whole life, they suffer from an inferiority complex.

We strongly believe that each child deserves the right to be healthy and educated. This ESC project has been established to assist

disabled children and young people to achieve and maintain higher levels of independence and personal fulfilment.

In this frame, Parus Nadezhdy offers the opportunity for volunteers to discover Russia and the social work with the disabled

people. We would like through this project support and promote social inclusion of disabled people. Our purpose is the integration

and raise awareness of the local community about human face which lies behind the disease. Despite the fact that every day talks

about tolerance, people still afraid and see only the disability, otherness and not the human. We want to prevent this.
