Charis Foundation, based in Florești, Romania, is committed to equal opportunities for everyone. Through the education project, adult education, practical assistance, emotional support and the church, this organization is a place where people feel safe and secure.
Discrimination and inequality
Within the Roma community in Florești, inequality runs deep, and many families live in difficult circumstances. Harsh seasons and discrimination make daily life very challenging. Issues such as addiction, domestic violence, and theft create instability within families, and many Romanian families also struggle with poverty and a lack of opportunities. Charis Foundation partners with local organizations to bring stability and hope, breaking the cycle of poverty and making the love of Jesus visible.
