What Haiba Lastekodu Sihtasutus does

Haiba Lastekodu Sihtasutus is a private Estonian non-profit foundation (sihtasutus, registry code 90005414) that operates a 24-place family-system substitute home (children's home, registry number 75011398) in Haiba village, Saue vald, Harju County, Estonia. Established in 1995 following the liquidation of Muraste Lastekodu and officially opened on 29 December 1999, the facility provides 24-hour residential foster care and social welfare services for orphans and children without parental care, from birth until age 18 or completion of schooling. The service is structured around four family units (pere) of six children each — three families occupy seven-room apartments across two floors, while the fourth occupies a smaller four-room apartment — with four to five educators per family providing continuous adult supervision and care.

The organization's business model rests on two funding streams: state-funded placement contracts with Harjumaa municipalities under the oversight of the Ministry of Social Affairs and the Harju County Government, and charitable donations and sponsorships from corporate partners (SEB Heategevusfond, Paulig), Estonian Rotary Clubs, the U.S. Embassy, the Tallinn International Women's Club, and a community of supporters organized through the Sõprade Klubi (Friends Club) established in 2004. The foundation entity supports the construction and ongoing operation of the children's home, with funds directed toward minibus leasing (currently four minibuses in operation), extracurricular activities, driving school for qualifying youth, educator training, and event organization. Activities are partially supported through the ESF TAT 2014-2020 welfare services quality programme.

The facility operates with 11–50 employees (matching the four-family staffing model plus key management: Director Sirje Just, Social Work Manager Angela Jüristo, and Services Manager Maria Hansen) and is governed by a four-member supervisory council (Ene Päll, Sirje Just, Merike Lepik, and Marge Kütt). Geographic scope is restricted to Harjumaa, with capacity effectively capped at the 24-place physical limit. The organization runs no proprietary technology, no digital platforms, and no AI systems; its service is delivered by human educators in physical residential settings.
