** Now supporting refugees from the Ukraine arriving at the Siret border post **

As the only major charity active in Siret, we are already providing practical assistance for the stream of refugees, all women and children, arriving at the border post, which is just 1 mile north of the town. ** ALL money donated in March 2022 will go to this cause ** We're uniquely well placed to help as we are on the ground, have Ukranian speaking staff, as well as long term and trusted relationships with many local government organisations, including

The Siret Mayor's office,

Suceava County Social Services,

Suceava Child Protection department,

Local police and fire departments ,

All major churches in the area

Our day to day work is below - we're not giving up on that: We work with young and the now not-so-young people who experienced the horror orphanages in Romania in the 1980s and 1990s as well as providing specialist childcare services in an impoverished area in the north of the country. We set up a Romanian charity called O Noua Viata (A New Life) and now work closely with local government and the Romanian Child Protection Department. We own and work in a number of care homes and are training local Romanians to run these. We are also organising funding from within Romania so that one day the charity will run independently of international aid. Please donate to support our cause
