Through a close partnership with Children in Distress Romania, a long-standing nonprofit organization working with vulnerable children in Romania, American Friends of Children in Distress Romania helps support programs that provide care, therapy, education, and opportunities to children facing difficult circumstances.
For more than three decades, Children in Distress Romania has developed programs designed to support children with disabilities, children from disadvantaged families, and those at risk of social exclusion. These initiatives create safe environments where children can receive specialized care, continue their education, and grow with dignity and hope.
American Friends of Children in Distress Romania works to strengthen and expand these programs by raising awareness, building partnerships, and mobilizing support from donors and communities in the United States.
Together, these efforts help ensure that vulnerable children receive the care, stability, and opportunities they deserve.
The St. Christopher Center is an after-school program that provides a safe and supportive environment for children from disadvantaged families.
Here, children receive educational support, participate in creative and developmental activities, and benefit from a nurturing community that helps them stay engaged in school and build confidence for the future.
Through community outreach programs, children from vulnerable families receive access to remedial education, creative workshops, and essential support such as clothing, school supplies, and food packages.
These initiatives help children remain connected to school and reduce the risk of social exclusion.
Casa Maria is a family-type care center dedicated to children with severe neurological conditions who require specialized care and long-term support.
The center provides a safe home environment where children receive medical supervision, therapy, and the emotional care they need to live with dignity.
