Russianabout us
ThePromise
ThePromise was established in 2003 to support children with disabilities in Russia, both in the community and within the current orphanage system.
Our Vision is a world where children with disabilities can achieve the best possible quality of life.
Our Purpose is to improve the lives of disabled children in Russia. We do this by promoting a system of support (Portage) for disabled children in partnership with families and carers and by encouraging a more positive attitude to disability.
Our Values are:
- The right of all children to lead a fulfilling life
- The right of people to determine and develop their own future
- All children should be valued for their unique qualities
- Working in partnership
