Providenta Divina

We fully fund this small charity which helps a group of elderly people in Petrosani, an ex-mining town in Jui valley, Romania which has a high level of poverty.

Life in Romania can be really hard, particularly if you are elderly. In Petrosani, there are many elderly people with tiny or no pensions, no family to take care of them, and incredibly harsh living conditions.

Through our partner organisation, Providenta Divina, we aim to ease the burdens of these vulnerable, elderly people by providing necessities including food, medicines, and fuel (wood or help with heating bills) during the winter.

Almost as important, the visits from Julian and his volunteers can be a lifeline for those who are socially excluded and lonely, and sometimes unable to leave their flats or houses.

We also provide support for 5 very poor families, living in incredibly difficult circumstances. By helping them with regular food parcels, the parents can use what little income they have to pay bills, or buy clothes and school supplies for their children.
