Image Wear Supports Narva Children's Home
We supported the operation of Narva children's home. We donated three washing machines and three tumble dryers to the Narva Social Work Centre's shelter. Our goal is to improve the well-being of communities in localities where we have opportunities to influence. Narva, Estonia', was a natural choice because our own production facility is located there.
New machines make laundry days easier
The desire was to find a cause that supports children or young people. From many options, the Narva social work center's shelter Narva Sotsiaaltöökeskus turvakodu was chosen. The shelter itself proposed how the donation money should be used. The greatest need was for washing machines and tumble dryers, as they are in daily use and the old machines had reached the end of their life.
The Narva social work centre’s shelter provides temporary housing for children aged 0-18 who have been left or are at risk of being left without a guardian. The shelter offers children a safe environment and help with mental balance and functioning in everyday life. Services include accommodation and dining services, clean clothes and linens, social counselling and psychological help, medical care, and assistance with schooling. The shelter consists of three houses, each housing 6–7 children. Each child usually has their own room; in some rooms, there are two children. In these houses, the children are taken care of by a social worker and a psychologist, along with educators who cook for the children, do laundry and help with schoolwork.
The handover ceremony was organized last week, and the machines were received by Julia Shupilova, director of Narva Social Work Centre. Jelizaveta Pavlova, operational director of Image Wear's Narva factory, handed over the machines. We wish happy laundry days to Narva!"
