The Romania Without Orphans Alliance (arfo.ro)

In 2010, Livada co-founded the Romania Without Orphans Alliance. With ARFO, we continue to mobilize the Church to local action, the government entities for better child welfare initiatives, and we train thousands of caregivers in trauma-informed care strategies like TBRI. Foster and Adoptive parents, social workers, counselors, educators, and anyone else who works directly with vulnerable children continue to be trained through live and online seminars and conferences.

Foster Care & Family-Style Residential Care

Our care for kids, who cannot be safely reintegrated with family, consists of private family-style group homes, mentor apartments for older teens, and private foster care.

Cradle Care


Livada provides care to abandoned infants and toddlers in hospital wards, foster care, and domestic adoption.

Orphan Outreach (Follow Up Clubs)

Kids who reside in government group homes/state foster care are invited to attend our highly relational weekly Christian clubs, evangelistic summer camps, discipleship groups, and receive supplemental education and humanitarian aid through our orphan care after-school programs and special events throughout the year.

Prevention of Abandonment

Through weekly Christian clubs, educational initiatives, humanitarian aid, and crisis intervention, Livada Orphan Care works to prevent abandonment for at-risk Roma (Gypsy) kids and poor families.
