Meet Bianca
Aged 9, Romania
Bianca lives with mother, her twin sister and two other siblings. The two-bedroom home they live in is owned by her mother's partner, and is made from cement blocks.
As the adults have no regular income, Bianca and her twin sister were accepted into the care of the Denisa sponsorship programme. With support, at the Care Centre they will receive extra help and support, and will be able to give attention to their homework. They will also be supervised while their mother cares for the younger children.
Bianca is a bubbly girl and enjoys having many friends. Her favourite colour is purple. Bianca loves cats and loves eating pizza. She also enjoys gymnastics.
Where Bianca 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.
