Prevention of Abandonment Ministry

In November of 2009 Fundatia LOC began a new ministry in the local community, the Prevention of Child Abandonment. The activities take place in Reghin, an area near Targu Mures with almost 2300 gypsies. Our objective is to improve the quality of life for the children and disadvantaged families, prevent school abandonment and prevent the child’s separation from his/her family.


Every week around 80 kids attend our social and educational programs divided in 2 groups by age: 3-8 years old and 9-14 years old. We also offer food, clothing and medical assistance for more families with difficult financial situations.



In December we organized three Christmas parties, two for the kids and one for their mothers. It was a special time enjoying lunch together, playing games, singing carols and opening gifts that brought joy to everyone’s heart.




We want to thank all who have made this ministry possible. Please pray for those who serve the Lord through this ministry and also for all the kids and their families.
