RESIDENCE CENTRE FOR YOUTH
After the age of 18, the child needs to leave the protection system because he/she is legally considered as adult, although, psychologically, he/she is unprepared. After a life spent in the placement centre, the child who is now a youngster, is thrown in the flurry of a society where competition is very tough. Unprepared, with no support, many of the youth who have left the orphanages did not manage to integrate, did not find a job and they were not able to “fit in” the harsh society.
Our program offers accommodation, 3 meals a day, vocational and psychological counselling that may build up on the motivation and determination to succeed. 65 youth are beneficiaries of the residential program for a period of one year. Over 1200 youth have been supported through this program, while the percentage of the ones who integrated socially and professionally is over 90{92266a2eb9e36c101191f5abad8cf34a3a2ea7190a2d7a471d80b42d6fefcd54}.
SUPPORT FOR YOUTH
A part of the youth need help for a shorter period of time, they need food, financial support or vocational counselling, without requiring accommodation facilities. 20 youth are supported through such services.
We wanted to develop an alternative to an intervention model to combat poverty among abandoned children on the street in Bucharest.
The organization developed and is currently addressing vulnerable social categories, although children are the primary focus of our foundation.
