Heart of a Child Foundation
Founded in 1996, the Heart of a Child Foundation started out of a need to help a few street children and a group of children with HIV abandoned in hospital. For 25 years, Heart of a Child Foundation has been working in the poorest area of Romania, the south-east of the country, in Galați, Brăila, Vrancea and Vaslui, where it helps children, parents and communities at risk with medical, educational, emotional and economic support, trying to transform, through social and support services, inequalities into equal opportunities, creating stronger communities based on inclusion. By HG 451/2016, Heart of a Child Foundation was recognized as a public benefit organization. It offers support to Ukrainian refugees in transit, providing them with food, temporary accommodation, translation and legal assistance. The Foundation also runs two centres in Brăila and Galați, where refugees who have chosen to stay in the country are offered social and cultural services, recreational activities, counselling and assistance in finding housing.
