HAI! Bârlad
“Hai” is Romanian for “Come on! Let’s go!”
A place for Bârlad’s pre-teens and teens to belong, learn, and get ready for what’s next.
Help Us Open the DoorsOpening our doors wider
For years, our center in Bârlad, Romania has been a safe, joyful place for children with special needs. In 2027, it grows into HAI! Bârlad — a club and learning space open to any vulnerable young person in Bârlad, ages 11 to 18.
Too many young people here grow up without a place to go after school, a computer to learn on, or someone to help them take the first step toward a job. HAI! Bârlad is that place, those tools, and those people.
What happens at HAI! Bârlad
The Club
A safe, welcoming place to hang out, make friends, and be encouraged by caring adults.
Computer Lab
An open lab with educational games and digital skills — for many, their first real time on a computer.
Life Skills
Practical, everyday skills and healthy habits — including movement and exercise — that build confidence.
Job Readiness
For older teens: writing a CV, practicing interviews, and meeting local employers.
And our youngest friends aren’t going anywhere — they’ll still have dedicated activity days with the same staff who know and love them.
