The organization
Lielas rūpes par mazajiem
A Latvian initiative that helps children who are in hospital without a parent or close caregiver beside them.
Lielas rūpes par mazajiem provides loving and competent caregivers for children who are being treated alone at the Children’s Clinical University Hospital in Riga.
The initiative was created on 5 February 2018 by Latvijas Kristīgā alianse bāreņiem. Its work supports children from social care institutions, foster and guardian families, adoptive families, and larger families when a child needs someone to stay close during hospital treatment.
The works
Twenty-one originals. One cause.
These are all the paintings that took part in the auction. Each one now supports children in hospital.
