The Roma people are some of the poorest and most discriminated-against communities of people within Romania. To begin combatting this reality, we have opened our first New Horizons Center in Movilita to provide pre- and after-school education to Roma Children.
Education: More than 70 children attending daily after-school program receive assistance with schoolwork, educational enrichment programming, and spiritual empowerment in a caring, nurturing environment.
Food Program: Each child receives a nutritious hot meal every day. For many of these children, food insecurity is a daily harsh reality, to this food is critical to their wellbeing and ability to learn.
Impact: The results are overwhelming, with the children showing substantial improvements in education performance at school, physical health, self-esteem, and outlook for their futures.
