Helping orphans to prepare for an adult life

It is known that graduates of orphanages face difficult problems after they turn 18 and when they have to leave orphanage. The idea of the project is to teach them to cook,to sew and clean their rooms by certain age.For this it is neccessary to buy sewing machines and teach them to sew. They can sew clothes for themselves or for other kids in orphanage. Also in the future they can find a job as a sewer as often there are advertisements of needed sewers. Everybody knows that the government gives money to orphanage. But when orphans turn 18 years they should leave orghanage and they have no place to go.They are not ready for an adult life, they have absolutely no skills So graduates face a lot of problems with housing,employment and even family life.Often they can"t find a life partner. Government just provides with supplies but there are no lessons for children to get ready for an adult life.
