One single group still needs bathroom and group kitchen renovation. Hopefully we’ll be able to make it happen in 2011 to finally terminate this long haul project.
You may, at your leisure, browse through NBH bathrooms project pictures here.
Update as of March 1st 2010
We are down to 3 bathrooms that need to be repaired.
We have ordered one bathroom to be renovated and work on this job has started today. 2 more need to be done and we are looking for sponsors to finish this project.
Cost is US$ 6,000.- (€ 4’000.- or CHF 6’000.-) for each remaining bathroom.
Please help finish this project 
Thank you very much for your kind support!

Mission accomplished
In spite of difficulties we managed to finish partial renovation of the heating system before beginning of winter. And, as you perhaps read it in the press, this winter was particularly hard and snowy in Ukraine.
Director Olga Ivanovna is extremely grateful to our sponsors for having made it possible to the orphans to live during winter time in a heated home!
Update as of October 15th
We managed to secure financing for the whole project. A big thanks goes to our generous donors! But this time there is a delay on the construction side of this project. Also the new heating is already in operation, not everything is finished and we are holding back payment until every last bit is finished to our satisfaction.
We regularly inform our members on the way in which their donations are used by semi-annually publishing a short “Newsletter”. Or, to be more precise, after each trip to Ukraine.
