Hope Worldwide. Bringing Hope. Changing Lives.

Romania HVC

Every year, 10,000 babies are abandoned in Romania’s hospitals. Just over 7,000 children live in Romania’s 163 institutions.
Many of the children are not literally orphans. They have parents but they are unable to afford to take care of such large families. The parents had placed them in orphanages, often with the intention of picking them up when they are older.

The conditions of orphanages has changed a lot in the last couple years. These institutions are more and more equipped and developed. The teachers and workers are trained. Although all these things are great, the real needs these children still remained unmet. 

“All institutions should be closed. They do not offer family, love. They do not offer the child what a child needs most which is to belong to a family, to have a mother and father, to feel special.”


Stefan Darabus

Regional director of Central and Southern Europe Hope and Homes for children

What they need is such a simple thing: affection, love, they want to be accepted


We know that we cannot be fathers and mothers for those kids. We cannot provide family either. But….

We can love them, appreciate them. We can help them feel that they are special. We can show them God’s love.

We see that as a clear mission for us, Romanians. 
We invite you to join us in Bucharest, Romania for a life-changing HOPEww Volunteer Corps experience in June 2019.
We are so grateful to host HOPEww Volunteer Corps in our city. We are excited and looking forward to see many of you.

The main focus of our program is to visit our partner orphanage every day to serve and love the kids. 
Around fifty kids live in that orphanage in the age from 5 to 17. 
We will teach English, we will play interactive games, teach songs and dance, we do sport activities with them. We help them improve social and communication skills.
We also have couple physical work around the house like painting, repairing, cleaning. 

We will spend one day with a retreat as we take a bus and discover some beautiful landscapes of our country.

We booked an entire hostel in the center of Bucharest for you. You will love it.

We hope you will spend these two weeks with us loving and serving the orphan and abandoned kids of Romania.
