In 2008, Mulberry launched a building campaign. We knew the $250,000 we needed was a tough goal.

But, we knew the need. The Chernov family was living in a four-room apartment with one biological child and three foster children. They have added another three foster children and will add three more.

We knew one more fact. God specializes in accomplishing the impossible. So, we mailed brochures explaining the opportunity. And, we prayed.

Since then, we have received gifts from nearly one hundred donors. A foundation will match all gifts up to $100,000. And, the economy that makes raising money look impossible has lowered the cost from $250,000 to $160,000.

The need has also become more urgent. We’ve found mold in the apartment. It is now for sale at a reduced price.

I won’t bore you with the math, but right now we need $50,000 to complete the project. That is just ten gifts of $5,000! Or 500 gifts of $100. I am confident that everyone can give something, if not $5,000. Please consider the impossible.

Imagine a place where one-third of the population lives below the poverty line.

A place where 400,000 children are homeless.

Half of those live in state facilities and half are living on the streets.
9 out of 10 will be addidcted to alchohol, glue or other drugs
60% will go to prison
Half of the girls will become prostitutes
70% will die before the age of 21
1 in 7 will attempt suicide
1 in 10 teenage girls will become pregnant

Each year 2000 babies will be abandoned.

8000 children will be removed from their parent's custody.

For 70 years God was legally dead.

Mulberry International Children’s Ministries exists to partner with the children and families of Ukraine through advocacy, education and action to promote growth and eternal transformation. We are a non-governmental organization that focuses on nurturing abandoned and neglected children – helping to provide for their physical, emotional and spiritual needs. With your help we can turn a hopeless situation to the glory of God by showing His love through our actions. These young lives can be snatched from the jaws of death, and molded into Christ’s image.
