Narva Project Brings Support and Joy to Families in Need

Narva is a town on the border of Russia and Estonia where most people speak Russian, and is a crucial trading hub. In Narva, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is teaming up with "Families with Many Children" for a practical project. They aim to help 28 first graders with school supplies like backpacks, pencils, paper, and markers. But it doesn't stop there – each month, they're also making sure families have enough food for a year, and they're providing winter coats and shoes to kids who need them. To add a festive touch, the project also includes small Christmas gifts for 416 children, spreading joy throughout the community.

The Church's efforts aren’t just in Narva; they’re teaming up with a Red Cross thrift store in Tallinn to collect gently used children’s clothes for families facing tough times. This partnership not only makes the project more impactful but also shows how different organizations can work together to help those in need. The Church's relief efforts are bringing happiness to kids and earning gratitude from the local organization’s director and assistant. Their shared appreciation shows how communities can work together to make a positive impact.


In Narva, the Church's project is making a real difference, touching the lives of many kids and adults. The joy from school supplies, food, winter gear, and Christmas gifts creates a hopeful atmosphere. The director and assistant from "Families with Many Children" are incredibly thankful for the newfound support. As the Church's relief work continues, the deepening ties among communities and transformative influence of unity emerge, portraying a promising and more caring.
