  • IMG_0026 RUSSIA. Western Siberia. Jurga. 2015. A girl at the Child center “Happy kids”. Caritas opened the center ten years ago. About 20 russian catholic, orthodox and buddhist children (aged 5-16) tend to attend several courses such as Russian language to prepare public school, ethic, cooking and theatre. Two pedagogists and five social workers look after them, the social workers cooperate very closely with the public school. Some children need psicological support to deal with family problems such as poverty and alcohol. Some families live in a tiny room with three or four children. Caritas provides used clothes to the families too. Jurga is a small city with around 85,000 inhabitants, it is located in the Kuzbass region, along the Transiberian railroad, about 100 km from Tomsk. Main employer was a machine factory which was relocated here from during the II World War. When the factory closed tens of thousands lost their jobs. Without any alternative around 20,000 people left the city.

  • A boy in his flat. His mother has lost her husband in Chechen war. His sister went to town to look for some job a year and a half ago. He has two nieces. They live together in run-down flat without heating and water supply. In the winter they can not use the stove because it is forbidden to use it in a multi-storey-building. The village Slavjanka is 160 km south of Omsk in the county of Novowarschavka, close to the border with Kazakhstan. Half of the adults have no jobs and have low paying casual jobs. The alcohol consumption grows with the lack of any prospects. Almost every family is touched with alcoholism. Heating systems and running water have not been working for years because most of the families cannot afford the associated costs. There are a lot of cheap, empty, run down apartments. For a couple of years now families with debts are being relocated from Omsk into these apartments. The adults and children feel completely out of place and have difficulties integrating. Some children need psicological support to deal with family problems such as poverty, domestic violence and alcohol.
