The Smiles Foundation is a Christian Charity with projects in North West Romania. Working in Oradea and the surrounding Bihor County, we support families, children, the elderly and homeless who are in desperate need of a helping hand. Over 1500 people are helped every day through various projects.

Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

 

The Smiles Foundation is a fantastic charity giving hope to hundreds of people in Romania who otherwise would have very little. I visited last year and couldn't believe there was still poverty on that scale in Europe in 2009. In one village there was a family of 8 people living in a small shack with a dirt floorm, swarming with flies, with no electricity or sanitation. It was horrendous (see photos opposite). One of Smiles projects is to provide temporary housing in the form of a shipping container until proper housing can be built. We talk about there being poverty in the UK but we live like kings in comparison.

It would be great if you could sponsor me!

Many thanks

Ian
