About the Children

A Generation in Need

The Heart of Romania Children’s Foundation brings hope and help to the homeless, hungry, and abandoned children of Romania.

Decades after the fall of the communist regime and the execution of Nicolae Ceausescu, thousands of children remain without life’s most basic necessities. The collapse of communism left behind widespread poverty, broken families, and an overwhelmed social system. Many children were abandoned, abused, or left to survive on the streets. Disease, hunger, and despair have only deepened the crisis.

Life on the Streets

Today, orphanages are filled with children ranging from newborns to teenagers. Malnutrition is common, and the absence of shelter, stability, and nurturing love leaves scars that last a lifetime. More than 22,000 children are homeless across Romania—a number that continues to grow.

Barriers to Medical Care

Beyond food and shelter, access to healthcare is another urgent challenge. Clinics and hospitals—especially in smaller cities—often lack the medical supplies and equipment needed to provide safe, effective care. Because all medical treatment in Romania must be paid for, orphans and street children are the last to receive help. During visits, doctors and nurses have pleaded for assistance to provide even the most basic care for these children.

Our Response

The Heart of Romania Children’s Foundation is committed to meeting these needs. We provide orphanages and clinics with food, clothing, and medical supplies. We are also supporting facilities like the orphanage and clinic in Domnești, a small village outside Bucharest, to ensure that children there receive the care they desperately need.

Building a Future

Our mission goes beyond survival. We are dedicated to securing a future for Romania’s children—one built on proper nutrition, medical care, education, and stable shelter. With these essentials, we can help guide children from despair to hope, from abandonment to belonging, and from vulnerability to independence.

With your support, we can nurture these children into strong, capable adults who will one day contribute positively to Romanian society. Your compassion can help transform lives.
