Children - Our Future is a UK based charity making a difference to the lives of homeless, poor, neglected and abused children in Latvia.
Latvia is a small country in Northern Europe, which for 50 years or so was part of the Soviet Union. After the demise of communism, Latvia gained its independence but also inherited many social problems left over from the communist regime. Unemployment is very high, a large section of the population is living below the poverty line and alcoholism and despair are rife.
It is the children who bear the brunt of these problems and Children - Our Future is trying to bring hope into their lives.
