JANUARY 2025


Dear friends!
The holidays filled with children’s belief in miracles are now behind us. I wish for all of us to retain a sparkle of Christmas joy and hope in our hearts throughout the year! We look back at the past year with gratitude and remember everyone who helped us to help others!

Throughout the year, our volunteers in various cities and even countries, as well as you, our dear friends and supporters, stood by those in need. Altogether, we provided assistance to 79 families. Read more

Happy New Year and Blessed Christmas!


Congratulations, dear friends! May the coming year bring happiness, peace and love between people! And health to you all!

Campaign “Chirstmas gift”

Dear friends,
the wonderful pre-Christmas time is approaching – and we invite you to make a miracle with your own hands! Our little wards are waiting for gifts. Below we provide excerpts from their letters to Santa Claus – the list is updated as they come in. Anyone can become such Santa Claus or a Christmas Angel.

You can:

– transfer the required amount to the Diakonia account (bank account or PayPal). Do not forget to indicate “Podarok” and the child’s name in the payment details when transferring.

– buy a gift yourself. You can send a gift by mail or give it to the child in the hospital: through our volunteers or yourself. In this case, please write to us at yuli.nazarov@orthodiakonia.de , or Whatsapp +31611801830 .

– donate a convenient amount to Diakonia for this campaign. Do not forget to indicate “Podarok” in the payment details.
