Creating thriving childhoods full of hope, life, and love to lead to change on a larger scale.
Since 2017, the Delia Foundation has touched the lives of hundreds of children in Romania through encouragement and love. Starting in March 2019, The Delia's Friends Learning Center opened it's door to children with physical, intellectual, and developmental disabilities. We are giving special needs children the tools to achieve their highest potential using a holistic approach.
Children with disabilities are still victims of stigma and discrimination. Discriminatory attitudes towards children with special needs are mainly socially manifested, often going along with parental shame. Social labeling has enabled the community to think that these kids do not have real chances.
Children in Romania with special needs are being denied an education, but we can help replace them living in institutions as adults, through the vibrant kid's program while working with community-based services that provide children access to health, education and social care tailored to their individual needs.
