Our Mission

We transform the lives of the most vulnerable and disadvantaged children, young people, and their families living in Romania’s poorest communities.

Our Vision

We strive to create an environment where vulnerable children, young people, families, and communities — regardless of their abilities or backgrounds — can live in safety and dignity.

They are treated with respect, acceptance, and love, supported to reach their full potential in a spirit of equity, social inclusion, tradition, hope, and trust in the future.

We empower them to take responsibility for finding a way out of poverty and improving their lives.

Our Guiding Principles

We act with altruism and compassion

We believe that the deepest need of children and young people is to experience genuine love within a stable family environment — one that offers safety, opportunities for growth, and generously nurtures their spiritual, social, and material needs.

We respect the dignity of every person

We promote diversity and freedom of expression, and we encourage individual creativity. We support the development of skills and resilience for social inclusion and empower people to take dignified responsibility for their own lives.

We believe in the simplicity of our actions

We run programs that serve as practical and straightforward interventions, reaching as many vulnerable children, young people, adults, and communities as possible — helping them take part in transforming their own lives.

We strive to build a just society

We value each person’s experience and potential to build a fulfilled life, regardless of their abilities or background, in a fair society where every voice is heard and respected.

We collaborate responsibly across all sectors of society

We build partnerships and collaborative relationships, leveraging the professionalism, creativity, and innovation of our entire team to meet the needs of the most vulnerable and ensure they have access to the services they require.

We demonstrate professionalism, accountability, and share best practices
