Andrada, 5 years old, has nobody who can bring her to school.

David, 7 years old, has no shoes or note books for school.

Angela, 9 years old, has a lot of homework but nobody at home to help her because non of her parents can read or write.

Do they have a chance for a better future?

 

The Selah program for education gives these children a chance to change their situation. In the Selah project we help families who want to send their kids to school but can’t offer their child the support they need to actually stay in school. Families who are so poor that even buying pencils or note books genuinely exceeds the family budget.

 

We help children both before and after school hours. In the mornings they come to change clothes, to wash themselves and have breakfast.

After school hours the children return to the project where, after a healthy lunch, they start with their homework. Homework in Romania is quite a lot of work, already from the first grade! The project provides extra help where needed and pays special attention in learning Romanian, because the Romanian language is not the native language for these Roma children.

​

Without the Selah project none of these children would be going to school and like their parents they would have to fight for the most humble jobs.

 

Selah provides a chance for a better future!
