Government funded orphanages may house and feed impoverished children, but the Children’s Village attempts to go above and beyond providing basic survival, to equip these children with the means to flourish in life and learn how to support themselves and give back to the community as they grow older.
Many of the children come from abusive backgrounds, often with alcohol involved which is a huge problem in Latvia, exacerbated by the usual teenage problems. Your support, attention, and leadership can help them to realize a better life for themselves and for their communities.
The younger ones need love and care to replace the nurturing environment of a proper family. And the older ones benefit from things such as English lessons, which will help them excel in the world of Hospitality, while they develop their abilities and learn valuable skills apprenticing at the Village Hotel.
If you choose to help out on the Farm, your efforts will go a long way to helping build an infrastructure to both house and teach more children in the future. The plan is to raise Latvian breeds and grow organic produce, in hopes of attracting tourists and therefore profits for the orphanage, whilst at the same time providing further training and therapy for the orphans. Your care and affection can make a world of difference and even change the lives of some of these less fortunate children.
We invite every traveller who books a holiday via us to send in a review. Because we don't run the holidays they're completely independent and unedited... remember to read between the lines though, as two people on the same holiday can have different views!
