Tartu Children’s Shelter

Tartu Children’s Shelter (from here on TCS) is a crisis institution, which offers temporary aid, support and protection to all children who have experienced domestic or any other form of violence or negligence and children who simply don’t have a safe place to spend the night. TCS also offers the same services to single parents and families with children who are experiencing difficulties in their daily lives.

TCS also helps children and families with children in need of material aid. For example lack of food, clothes or other necessities of life. TCS can help within its capabilities.

If you or your friend are experiencing difficulties, come to us for help. We can help you find solutions to your problems!

Staying in Tartu Children’s Shelter is free for all !

The fee for all TCS clients whose official residence is not Tartu will be paid by the county or city of their official place of residency.

Families who leave TCS to start their independent life will also receive some material help.

Thank you!
