How We Work
We listen to our Romanian friends.
We identify and study problems where we can make a difference.
We create workable solutions and prepare commonsense projects with
defined aims and timescales.
We raise the funds - without which nothing can be achieved.
We also produce models for replication elsewhere in Romania,
avoiding the need to "reinvent the wheel" - for example
with street children's homes, mobile health programmes and play
therapy for orphans.
We
stay flexible, particularly with regard to hearing funding requests from smaller
charities. We know from direct experience how these groups can achieve
fantastic results for relatively small amounts of money - if only the big "professional"
funders would listen to what they really need. We will pay for salaries
and office costs where we know these will make a difference.
You can't really run a project without motivated staff operating
from heated premises, using telephones and computers. But very few
funders will pay for these essentails. They are still scared of
funding "administration" costs - an argument which is
out of date and needs to be discredited.
Successful
Past Projects We have
run numerous projects in the past. These have ranged greatly
in their scope. For example we were involved with homeopathic training
for doctors, to facilitate their work with sexually abused orphans. We
have given significant support to the disabled community in Romania. Among
other projects in the mental health arena, we led a campaign with the Parliamentary
Human Rights Group to reform the political abuse of psychiatry.
