What your organisation does

Project Romania aids the prevention/relief of poverty by:- (i) building and improving housing and wells; (ii) delivering aid including food parcels, Christmas gift shoe boxes, clothing and firewood logs; and (iii) providing funeral assistance. Project Romania aids the increased health and well-being of the beneficiaries by:- (i) hosting medical

clinics and central wash facilities; and (ii) hosting personal hygiene, life skills and family planning programmes. Project Romania aids education of the beneficiaries by supporting schools through the provision of educational resources (including bikes, tables, boards and stationery). Project Romania aids the increased knowledge and awareness of the gospel of Jesus Christ by:- (i) providing spiritual support in schools, churches and small house groups; (ii) conducting outreach programmes to individuals, families, communities, schools and church groups with the assistance of teams (10-12 teams each year); and (iii) taking RE lessons and assemblies in schools and churches/small house groups. In providing health care for the beneficiaries there is a risk of side effects from drugs/medical attention applied in certain circumstances. This possible harm however is outweighed by its possible benefit. There is no other harm which arises from the purposes/activities of Project Romania.
