Campaign Story
Construction shelter for Daycare Center “Lighthouse”
for street children and the homeless.

Thanks to generous hearts like yours, in support of our campaign—”Let’s Smile at Every Child”. Our daycare center, Lighthouse, will soon celebrate 25 years of working with street and homeless children in Azerbaijan. The daycare center “Lighthouse for Street Children” is implementing a social-psychological rehabilitation program for children working and living in the streets, which started in June 2002 in Baku, Azerbaijan.

Since the opening of this center, 8,000 children have been registered; about 50 children come here every day. Many of them do not have a place to spend the night. Unfortunately, the building where our day center is located was subject to demolition due to the city’s construction plan. We need $ 650,000 by midnight on December 31 to build a new center for these children. 2025 ends in a few months. However, your support of our campaign will be the most anticipated gift for these children.
When we help give together, no matter the size, our collective impact endures and replicates to bring a lifetime of hope to more vulnerable children and families! For many of the children, education is more than just fun—it’s a powerful tool for learning, healing, and growth. We need the help of all kindhearted people. You understand the power of supporting the education of girls and children and the critical role education plays in unlocking that power. Whether you’ve supported our campaign, Let’s Smile at Every Child,” we are grateful to you.

We think that shelter construction will help children who were once left out due to personal, cultural, or socioeconomic barriers and are now thriving educationally and socially. Change happens when supporters like you take action. Let’s make this for homeless children.
Make a gift today—and thank you!
