While much progress has been made, challenges remain. The need for continued support from both the Romanian government and international communities is crucial to ensure that all orphaned and abandoned children in Romania receive the care they deserve.
Visiting mission teams, often composed of volunteers from churches and Christian organizations worldwide, play a critical role in the work of Romanian ministries like Livada.

Romania has one of the highest numbers of institutionalized children in Europe, a significant portion of whom come from Roma families. The root causes are complex, involving a mix of economic instability, inadequate social services, and cultural factors.
Marga’s story of love, support, and healing at the Loc Foundation, where she found a family, overcame abandonment, and discovered the importance of faith.
“I started attending the foundation’s activities when I was 5 years old. Now I am almost 12. At the LOC foundation, I have become more mature.
I enjoyed the sports activities the most. I remember a few gifts I received that I really enjoyed: a toy gun, remote-controlled cars, and a smart watch. I come to the foundation to have fun. My favorite activity is playing hide-and-seek. During one camp, I played with water balloons and did archery, which I can’t wait to do again.
I am grateful to the LOC foundation for welcoming me every time to their activities, and I appreciate everything I have learned from them and through them over the years.”
