Samaaria Pärnu

Samaaria Pärnu is managed by the Samaritan Estonian Mission (Samaaria Eesti Misjon), a nonprofit organization that manages facilities, nursing homes, and charity shops. Founded in 1991 with help from Swedish Christians, the organization originally focused on providing humanitarian aid and support for people affected by the societal changes following Estonia’s independence. The facility provides support for individuals facing homelessness, poverty, addiction, and burnout, offering them a safe place to rebuild their lives and reintegrate into society. The organization also runs a similar facility in Haapsalu, furthering its mission to help those in need.

DIFFERENTIATION

Samaaria Pärnu is a facility for adult men. Both the Samaritan facilities in Haapsalu and Pärnu help people struggling with drug addiction, alcoholism, homelessness and burnout. At these facilities, they work with people who have faced difficult life circumstances and want to change in order to become full members of society again.

Daily life at Samaaria Pärnu follows a structured week schedule designed to provide stability and support personal growth. While residents have some say in how they spend their free time or which courses they attend, most daily decisions must be made in consultation with staff.

COMMUNITY-INTEGRATION

A lot of interaction is taking place between the residents of the facility and the community. Samaaria Pärnu has strong ties with local organizations, including the municipality, probation services, the Unemployment Office, hospitals, and other rehabilitation facilities. Additionally, the proceeds from Samaritan Second-hand charity stores go to support the facility, and Toidupank (Food Bank) provides free food. The facility works closely with the municipality, especially when it comes to social benefits. The facility is also integrated into the community through various work projects and volunteer opportunities. Samaaria Pärnu offers services to the local community, such as transport, removal services, accommodation and consultancy, construction services, and firewood sales.
