This center, which provides general and specialized social services to residents of Pakruojis district, consists of seven units: two Nursing Homes, three Community Children's Homes, Crisis Center,
Independent Living Home. The center's goal is to create socially, psychologically, and economically acceptable living conditions for vulnerable residents, including the elderly, disabled adults, at-risk adults and their families, orphans, at-risk children, and disabled children.

The Center needs funds to purchase a large wooden gazebo (for about 15-20 people). This would provide a shared space for individual and group activities. A psychologist could hold emotional support and self-help groups outdoors instead of indoors.

​

- Vaikų Dienos Centras “Aitvarai”, Vindeikiai, Širvintų raj.

This day care center serves 40 children aged 7–14 from Musninkai and the surrounding villages, 11 of whom have special needs.
While the center is mainly aimed at children at social risk, it is also popular with children who are not at social risk as there is a lack of meaningful leisure activities for children in rural areas. The day center provides children with meals, lessons, creative activities, sports, games, outings, excursions, meetings and other events aimed at getting to know each other better, broadening their horizons and learning, developing their social competences and
household skills.

​

Funding is requested to purchase a minibus to safely transport children home after activities, provide access to more educational outings, and offer reliable transportation for those in need.

with various behavioral and emotional problems, victims of various forms of abuse, and their family members.

​

Funding is requested to enclose and install a roof over the terrace so that children can spend time there when it rains or in cooler weather (spring, fall). The roof also protects from the direct heat of the sun. This would create an additional space where children could spend their free time, prepare lessons, communicate and play.
