FOR THE WELFARE OF CHILDREN
From the middle of 19th century the charity of Nizhny Novgorod merchants promoted the preservation of life and health of numerous children from poor families, orphans and single mothers with children, whom several orphanages were opened for. At the beginning of 20th century the Foundling’s House for 100 children was built owing to the merchant A.N. Markova. An exemplary establishment went down in the following history as Gorky Pediatrician Institute. A unique Widow House was built owing to the merchant N.A. Bugrov. The grateful descendants put up the monument to N.A. Bugrov in front of the House in 126 years.
