Annual Report 2010

History of CSO «MARTIN-club»

10 YEARS OF MARTIN-CLUB

In the year 1996, in the center for social services for youth, an

initiative group of people was created:

The “Indi-Club” – a club for creative and social active youth.

One of the founders of the club is the current manager Victoria

Fedotova.

In the year 1999, the necessity appeared to

register the social youth organization. On

October 6th in 1999, the creation of the

organization “MARTIN-Club” took place, and the

organization was registered as an association of

unified citizens.

The abbreviation initially stood for the

following:

M – Music, ART – art, IN – independence. But in

the present stage of its development, the

organization sees itself as:

M – maintenance, A – activity, R –

rehabilitation, T – teaching, IN –initiative.

The improvement of the position for children

and youth began with dinners for street kids

and musical actions of the organization that

attracted attention to the problems of homelessness and to

youth problems.

In the year 2000, the organization felt the necessity of creating

a center for the rehabilitation of children, who are going through

difficult situations.

Accordingly, a conference of the organization took place and the

decision was made to create a rehabilitation-training-center

(RTC) for children in the state of crisis: the “Children’s Village”.

As a result, the rehabilitation center is working, now, and has

become a primary focus of the organization.

In the year 2000, the organization began to acquire

resources for the realization of the prescribed

activities: Written proposals for grants in order to

fulfill several projects, fundraising activities, actions,

and partnerships with other organizations.

Nowadays, the Civil society organization “MARTIN -

Club” serves as one of the leading organizations in

Makeyevka that work on the problems of children and

youth. It’s a stable organization, which has eight

years of experiences in accomplishing socially useful

work and different kinds of projects. It

has an office and the technical basis for the fulfillment

of the prescribed activities.

Professionals are working in the organization:

pedagogues, psychologists and journalists. Also, it

has serious support of young people, who see the

sense of life in helping children and who decide to

become pedagogues. Organizations of the regions of

Donetsk and Lugansk appear to be stable partners, and also the

service on business for minors in the city of Makeyevka, the

department on business for family and youth, the department

for health care, and other organizations in Makeyevka.
