What we currently do:
● Day centers: 4 day centers located in four locations (Râmnicu Vâlcea, Ocnele Mari-Vâlcea county, Măcin-Tulcea county, Brăila) that offer day care services to a number of 100 children, aged between 3 -12 years old, coming from families in situations of social risk.
● Social centers for children and young people: three social projects differentiated according to the typology of the group target and specific objectives, but with the same common goal - a decent and safe living environment for children and young people temporarily deprived of emotional and material support from their family, training in independent living skills, support for school performance, counseling and guidance for socio-professional integration. We find here: "The house with solarium" which permanently accommodates 10 children aged 3-12 years, the "social apartments" which house teenagers aged 16-20 years, "Casa Raffaella" in which teenagers aged between 14-18 years old are accommodated.
● Volunteering at national and international level: we promote volunteering among young people, aiming to develop projects for young Romanians and foreigners, aged between 16 and 30, who are willing to experience volunteering in another country, in social activities , cultural or environmental protection. Every year, for about 150 volunteers, two-weeks volunteer camps are set up at the placement centers. Volunteers organize social activities through social animation, for the children from the protection system.
