In 2017, Children to Love partnered with Future for Children, a government-approved child and family rehabilitation center based in Lviv, Ukraine. Future for Children’s focus is on the family unit and the prevention of social orphanhood, a term given to describe children who have living parents or guardians but do not receive proper care for various reasons. At times, the family environment is unstable and unsafe for these children and they are sent to government institutions, which continues the deprivation of a family environment. Future for Children offers services for children and their parents to strengthen families and provide for basic needs including food, healthcare and education.

​

When Future for Children was founded, the ministry opened its doors with two part-time staff persons, some volunteers and a lot of faith. The ministry now has additional staff members and in collaboration with a few local churches and government social workers, six initial families and 15 children were assigned to Future for Children for care and support. These numbers have grown to more than 24 families and around 35 children that benefit weekly from Future for Children’s services. FFC has its own facility to do its daily activities. The center provides a variety of services and activities, such as Bible studies, homework help, individual counseling for needy children, speech therapy, family group counseling, parent skills training, life skills training and English lessons. 

​

Future for Children is overseen by Director Irina Pisarenko. Irina has a long history of working with children starting in 1998 and is also engaged with Lviv's Child Protective Services on behalf of Future for Children. This government agency created a network of local nonprofits to serve children. This network advises the Child Protective Services on proposals and projects and recommends any corrections on issues affecting children.
