Romania is a land of great contradictions. It’s a beautiful country inhabited by a people who wants to progress.
A people that clashes with widespread and deep poverty, where the living conditions of the most vulnerable – primarily children – are harsh.
Only in 2009, more than 1,000 children have been abandoned, more than 70 thousand children lived under state protection and over 90 thousand children were entrusted to relatives because the parents left the country in search of work abroad.
Since 2013 Time4Life International is committed in Romania to support two facilities for children: the Sister Bianca’s family home and the Institute of Sister Teodorina. The first serves as a school and houses about a hundred of children from 0 to 6 years old who carry great degradation and poverty backgrounds.
The Institute of Sister Teodorina welcomes about 80 children to whom she guarantees a meal, a snack and academic support.
