Meet Anisia
Aged 9, Romania
Anisia lives with her mother and siblings, including her twin sister. Their home, which is owned by her mother's partner, is made with cement blocks, and has two bedrooms.
As the family has no regular income, Anisia has been accepted into our Sponsorship programme at the Denisa Day Care Centre for extra help. Anisia's mother hopes that her twin daughters will be encouraged and helped with their homework at the Care Centre and will be cared for whilst she takes care of her younger children and the household.
Anisia is a happy and friendly girl, and very much enjoys being part of the Denisa Centre. Her favourite colour is pink and she loves cats. Anisia enjoys eating pizza and likes to play football.
Where Anisia lives
Even as a member of the European Union, Romania still suffers huge corruption and many families live in conditions that fall below the poverty line. A corrupt educational system has meant that a good education is unattainable for many children. Thousands of young adults are suffering the effects of growing up in desperately underfunded state orphanages, traumatised by the dirty conditions and undignified treatment.
Our Denisa Day Care Centre is providing free education, daily food and family support to children who are trapped in poverty and illiteracy. Our children's home provides a loving family to rescued girls who are growing into confident young women.
