OAS ATTENDED BAAL DAN NETWORK EVENT IN NYC
On September 19, 2024 Baal Dan held their annual Networking for a Cause event in New York City. Baal Dan holds their event yearly during United Nations General Assembly Week. As in previous years, OAS was invited to participate.
​
Baal Dan is a Charity providing aid to local grassroots organizations in developing countries that help impoverished and needy children. Since its inception in 2005, Baal Dan has helped thousands of children in 12 countries.
OAS and Baal Dan formed a relationship in the summer of 2022 when Baal Dan was requested by another charity, Marketing Research Education Foundation, to vet suitable Ukrainian charities that help children.
MREF and Baal Dan have maintained a close relationship for years. OAS has benefited from their relationship, first with multiple grants from MREF and this year, a $20,000 grant from Baal Dan.
We are extremely grateful to MREF for their past support and to Baal Dan for their current support of our organization and our orphans in Ukraine.

in memoriam
MARIA JOWYK
May Her Memory Be Eternal.
Maria Jowyk founded Orphans Aid Society in 1992 to aid and support orphans in Ukraine. Over the years, through Maria Jowyk’s hard work, OAS grew into a grass roots organization throughout Ukraine. Thousands of orphans became recipients of Maria Jowyk’s love and care. They received monetary aid, clothing and support. Many finished higher education, became professionals, and went on to lead full, productive lives. As a result of Maria Jowyk’s dedication, persistence, and love for Ukraine, Orphans Aid Society thrives to this day, continuing her great legacy.
