The Children of Leningradsky

Street kids

Active Child Aid was born on the streets of Moscow.

Founder Hanna Polak worked with children on the streets of Moscow to lift themselves out of a life of poverty, violence and abuse. This was the inspiration for, Active Child Aid, growing from the understanding of street children living in Moscow. We’re a small no-profit charity supported by active board and volunteers with a passion that no child should live on the streets.
