The mission of rehabilitation and educational complex lies in the elaboration and implementation of Christian educational and enlightenment projects and also in rendering integrated physical, social, psychological and spiritual aid on the basis of Christian experience to the HIV-positive people and to the children with cerebral paralysis (CPP), mainly to children suffering from various post-Chernobyl diseases, differently abled people, pupils and students. At the same time, the aid will be rendered to all who may need it: both to Christians irrespective from confession and the adepts of other religions and non-believers.

        The project framework envisages continuous multi-level education of teachers, psychologists, social and Church representatives and also conducting education work among young people, the relatives of the HIV-positive and CPP patients and also journalists dealing with the issues of social and medical subjects, in particular, AIDS expansion and prevention. Permanent educational programs are expected to contribute to the opportunity for the young people getting new promising jobs or raising their skills level. Part of these projects will be carried out on a fee basis making possible the work of the Centre without sponsor donations. The complex will also carry out spiritual and pastoral vicar work aimed at the crime prevention, the growth of drug addicts, alcoholism and AIDS among young people. The complex will have all necessary equipment for holding national and international conferences on anti-AIDS issues. Another function of the complex is the work as consulting office for AIDSers and their relatives. It will become the place of rendering them psychological and spiritual aid.

        Theologians from various confessions and denominations will work in the Complex developing theology concepts of the Church attitude to this problem, Christian social aspects and pastoral ministerial service for AIDSers.

The implementation of this project will allow not only to solve the problems of the most socially vulnerable group of population (HIV-positive, CPP patients, chair-bound people, students but also to strengthen the role that is played by the Orthodox Church in the public life of our country. Besides, this implementation itself will increase the role of non-governmental public initiatives in the Republic of Belarus. One should mention an important methodological role of the new Complex as an multiplier of positive experience of the World Council of Churches and other international and national church and public institutions. This project will give the opportunity to rapidly transfer the experience of spiritual work of the Church organizations to the civil ones and the latter’ experience to the Church ones.

The Complex construction will allow to a large extent to solve the problem of self-financing of the Centre due to leasing of some of its premises and also from the fee-paying educational actions. It will allow not only to reimburse the Complex running expenses but also finance some of the social, ecumenical and educational projects of the Centre including the theology faculty.

The total space of the Rehabilitation and Educational Complex is 2092 sq.m. consisting of lecture rooms and workshops, a gym, a House Chapel, a conference-hall, office facilities, a sauna with pool, a shower room, a massage room, two medical rooms and other facilities. All premises (both basic and subsidiary) including the sauna, the shower room, the building entrance are designed for the differently abled people.
