5.4 million children across the world are currently trapped in orphanages – even though 80% of them have family they could live with if they had the right support. Orphanages harm children, depriving them of love and exposing them to abuse. Your support helps us get children to back to family.

Story

Hope and Homes for Children will be closing the Comanesti Orphanage in eastern Romania and resettling the children - either reuniting them with their own families or placing them in small family type homes. The homes need to be built, purchased and then furnished ready for the children. We have chosen to support the outfitting phase of the project.

Below are examples of how your support could make a real difference:

£69 could buy towels and toiletries for up to 12 children in a small family home

£100 could buy a child their own bed plus sheets, pillows and blankets

£207 could buy a cooker and a microwave for the kitchen

£283 could buy 2 dining tables and 12 chairs made by Atti’s workshop, which offers training and a job to young people leaving institutional care, so that the children can sit and eat their meals together

£504 could furnish the living room with beanbags, couches and a table so that all the children can relax together

£690 could buy all the curtains and carpets needed to keep the children warm and snug in their new home

£1863 could provide playground equipment for the garden so that the children can enjoy playing together outdoors

£9948 could equip a whole Small Family Type home for up to 12 children

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. Hope and Homes for Children will receive your money quickly and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.

Many thanks for your support.
