To Russia with Love is a charity helping Russian orphans in a number of regions across the Russian Federation but predominantly in the Bryansk Region in Western Russia.

What started off in 1998 as one woman's promise to a child that she would come back to hug and kiss them has grown into a successful charity doing life changing work with thousands of orphaned and abandoned children across the Russian Federation!  Buildings have been rebuilt, care and education programs developed, staff hired, and children loved!

Our credo is that we believe children without parents deserve the same rights and entitlements as all children and so we develop programs of care in line with this.  If any family child is entitled to something then we want the children we work with who do not have families to have the same!  This belief is what has led to our best practice standards of psychological, medical, dental and educational care that we are so proud of.

Founder Debbie Deegan is an honorary citizen of the Region of Bryansk and has won three humanitarian medals as well as a UNESCO Tolerance Award in Moscow for her work.  In 2009 she was the Rehab International Person of the Year.
