A child being welcomed warmly.
A volunteer making space for prayer, conversation, and joy.
A program that creates rhythm, trust, and a place to feel safe.

When Allies visits a program like this, we bring encouragement, support, and Bags of Hope to help meet immediate needs. But what continues long after the visit is the steady presence of mentors who keep showing up.

That kind of care helps children build confidence, connection, and a stronger sense of what their future can hold.

Please keep the children, volunteers, and leaders in Guatemala in your prayers.

From Texas to Peru!

Here are some handcrafted blessings from many different people right here in Texas. ❤️

The dresses these girls are wearing were lovingly sewn by one of our sweet donors. The dolls that arrived were made possible through members of First Baptist Grapevine. In addition, “Prayer Buddy" dolls were carefully handcrafted by another faithful partner who pours love and prayer into each one.

Different hands. Different talents. One purpose: to bless orphans and disadvantaged children with something made just for them.


To every person who uses their gifts - sewing, stitching, creating, praying - thank you. Your hands are helping children feel valued, celebrated, and deeply loved.

Our Story

Each May there will be 16,000+ orphans in Russia that will “graduate”. Most of them will be given around $30 and turned loose to make their way alone in the world. The majority will fall prey to drugs, alcohol, and prostitution. Some will even be taken and forced into slavery. Who will lend a hand in this unknown and unfriendly world? Who will encourage them to keep trying positive solutions?

Allies in Youth Development (AiYD) is stepping up to help. In our Voronezh, Russia orphanage, we have established "Planeta Druzey" (Planet of Friends) a program designed to give orphans the tools and support network they desperately need to become healthy established individuals. Through the mentorship of locally trained university students serving as big brothers and sisters to the orphans, this group of previously abandoned youth will be given positive role models in their lives. In addition to the incredible impact of mentorship, our program strives to attain university placement and apprentice programs for those interested in further education and advanced job opportunities.

In 2014, we also expanded to a new orphanage in Moldova and a community in South Ossetia. Here, we are empowering university students to encourage orphans. South Ossetia is war-torn and in desperate need. Many of the children have lost either one or both parents in a recent war.

We believe that the life skills taught in our mentorship program will last a lifetime for the orphans who are reached and the university students who are trained to assist.
