BRASOV
 Day Centre for Street Children
CRY is working in partnership with Asociatia "Centrul Vietii Noi" ("New Life") to provide consistent support and help both spiritual and material to children and young people who are living or at risk of living on the streets of Brasov.

This comprehensive programme includes:

  • Outreach to Street Kids
  • Day Centre for Street Kids
  • Night Shelter for Street Kids
  • Roma Gypsy Village Outreach
  • Homework Club for Deprived Children in Stupini (a poor suburb but once a separate village) of Brasov.

The Day Centre (house purchase and running costs mostly funded by CRY) offers advice, counselling, medical aid, clothing, showers, food to children and young people living on the streets or ‘at-risk’ children in poor families. The Night Shelter provides short term emergency accommodation. Micro business initiatives are also being planned (a slab- and block-making business has already been started) which will provide vocational training and possibly employment for some of these young people at the same time as generating a local income - helping towards our goal of all projects becoming self-sustaining.

This model is an integral part of a longer-term rehabilitation and reintegration programme meeting immediate needs, providing the social support necessary for recovery and preparing children and young people for short-term residential care, supported reunification with their natural parent/s or other family member, for fostering, adoption or supported independent living.

The Centre which caters for approx 30 children a day is also providing residential care for a few young men who were formerly living on the streets. The Team are developing skills and expertise in respect of social care, enabling them to provide a knowledge base to the church and community, and continue to consider innovative ways of providing for those children and young people needing care and assistance. The longer term plans of the Day Centre are to find accommodation for these young people in social apartments.
