Helping Children in Romania


Homes for abandoned children
The world learned of the desperate needs of Romania’s children after the fall of the dictator Nicolae Ceauşescu in 1989. Soon afterward, WACAP began working to assist those children with food, education and rebuilding projects for orphanages.

Today many Romanian children still need help. Families often abandon babies simply because they can’t afford to keep them. Part of our mission is to move as many Romanian children as possible out of institutions and into homes—whether it means reuniting them with their birth parents, placing them in foster homes or finding adoptive families for them. A permanent home affords a child the best chance for normal development and a happy, productive life.

How you can help
  • $200 a month keeps a child out of an institution and in a loving foster home. (Smaller monthly donations are pooled to support this program.)
  • $50 per month helps a struggling family to keep their child at home rather than relinquish the child to an institution.
