The war may no longer be making daily headlines, but for thousands of Ukrainian refugees in Romania, the struggle continues. The initial wave of arrivals has slowed, yet the need for language learning, emotional support, and community connection remains urgent.
Every day, families are working to rebuild their lives by learning Romanian, searching for jobs, and trying to heal from trauma. Many children have integrated into local schools, while others continue their education online, maintaining a fragile link to home. But the journey is far from over.
While the crisis has shifted, the need has not disappeared. Refugee families are still navigating language barriers, economic struggles, and the emotional toll of war.
With your help, we can continue to provide:
Every donation makes a difference. Your support today helps Ukrainian families build a future full of hope and possibility.
Thanks to you, we were able to exceed our goals for helping children and families in 2024:
Language Courses: more than 130 refugees gained essential Romanian language skills to communicate, work, and integrate into their new communities.
Mental Health Support: 183 adults and children received psychological counseling to navigate trauma and emotional distress.
Educational & Social Support for Children: 50 children participated in structured activities that nurtured their creativity, resilience, and sense of belonging.
Community Events: Refugee families celebrated together through Spring Fest, Children’s Day, Summer Camp, and more—reminders that joy and connection still exist.
Through 699 hours of direct support, we helped refugees regain confidence, independence, and hope.
