In 2006 Detsky Dom Partners was formed in order to bring orphans from Russia to the US for short term tours. These talented kids would sing and dance, while raising awareness about the needs of orphans worldwide. Many of these kids were available for adoption, and they inspired families to adopt older children.  Switching to a more global vision, Detsky Dom changed its name to Every Child Has a Name in 2011.

Thank you for your interest in addressing the global orphan crisis which now affects over 153,000,000 children.  Learn more about the organizations and programs ECHAN supports on our Projects page.
