Romania
Poverty, unemployment and social exclusion in many parts of Romania are detrimental to children’s development. Children are left behind by parents who migrate in search of jobs, which exposes them to risks of school dropout, abuse, trafficking and exploitation. Our projects improve opportunities for underprivileged children and their families through better education and access to social, psychological and health services. We also support community development initiatives.
