Mission
As part of our mission Direct Help to Eastern Europe encourages everyone interested in helping orphanages to: 1) Get involved directly by visiting orphanages in Eastern European countries and by establishing contact with children living in an orphanage and their caregivers. 2) Donate to provide aid for orphanages with the greatest need and coordinate special educational projects. 3) Collect used toys, clothes and other garments in good condition and mail them to orphanages. 4) Organize a group of friends and family to "Adopt an orphanage" where you make a commitment to send school supplies or other materials at least once per year.

Programs
Direct Help to Eastern Europe's programs include: visits to orphanages, purchasing of materials needed by them, coordinating in setting up special programs in an orphanage, advocating direct involvement between a sponsor and an orphanage.
