Shelter for Street Children

The Shelter for Street Children, located in the heart of Baku, Azerbaijan, provides often the only legal means of support for orphaned children living on the streets of the capital, and offers some basic needs, such as warm meals, and respite from the cold Azerbaijan winter.

Our first activity at the Shelter, supported through donations collected by Bobby Stretch was to provide food supplies over the Christmas 2004.

Since then, a number of renovations and improvements at the centre have taken place, thanks to the support of Rob Cole, Bobby Stretch, CDC, and also to Katie and Roslyn who donated a washing machine.

BP and Amec have provided football kits for the Shelter, and the Bhoys of Baku are financing meals.
