Terry Hallman works for a social enterprise, a company that reinvests its profits to achieve social goals.

Working in the Ukraine, he discovered that the standards of care given to disabled children in many orphanages were extremely poor, and that children often stood little chance of surviving into their teens.

Terry wrote an insightful and shocking article, ‘Death Camps for Children’, which explored and exposed the key reasons behind the issue, such as a lack of funding, limited medical knowledge and large-scale corruption.

He advocated immediate intervention, in particular for the creation of an adopters’ allowance to make caring for disabled orphans a more feasible option for Ukrainian families.

This has since been announced as a policy statement by the Ukrainian Government, along with the introduction of more than 400 homes for disabled children.

Thanks to Terry’s efforts, the future for some of Ukraine’s orphans looks brighter.
