Warm Feet, Warm Hearts: Protecting Romania’s Children from the Cold
At Livada Orphan Care, we believe that every child deserves warmth, security, and the chance to focus on their education without the challenges of harsh weather. In January 2025, we had the privilege of making a tangible difference in the lives of children in Lascud and Ogra through Livada’s Project Warm Feet.
A Step Towards Comfort in Lascud
In the small village of Lascud, where unpaved roads turn into muddy obstacles during rainy days, children from kindergarten through 4th grade often face a challenging journey to school. Thanks to your generous support and our incredible partners at Metro Ministries Romania, we provided rubber boots to these little ones. Now, the cold and mud will no longer stand in their way, and they can walk to school with confidence and joy!
Overcoming Mud in Ogra
Meanwhile, in Ogra, knee-deep mud was a daily struggle for children in grades 0-4. But yesterday, that changed! Through Project Warm Feet, we equipped every child with a sturdy pair of rubber boots. Their excitement was contagious as they realized that rain or shine, they could now walk safely and comfortably to school.
Your Impact Makes a Difference!
Through your donations, you have ensured that these children can move forward—literally and figuratively—towards a brighter future. This is more than just a pair of boots; it’s an act of love and care that reminds them they are not alone.
And this is just the beginning. As we look ahead, we are preparing for our next outreach in Aushusha, where we will distribute clothing to children in need as the seasons change.
Thank you for stepping up to provide warmth, comfort, and hope. Your generosity keeps their feet dry and their hearts full!

5 Great Reasons To Sponsor a Child Through Livada
Transforming lives, breaking the cycle of poverty, a Christian, faith-based approach, tailored support programs and a transparent, trustworthy organization are just a few reasons to consider sponsoring a child through Livada Orphan Care.
Summer Clothes Drive 2024
We are currently working with approximately 500+ children and teens in orphan group homes and in our prevention of abandonment ministry. All of them need new athletic shoes, socks, and underwear. For the abandoned kids in state care and the LOC kids in our private full-time care, we also need approximately 270 complete summer outfits.
Please consider joining with us to bless these kids with new summer clothes in Jesus’ name.
INSTRUCTIONS: Click on any icon/photo below to purchase an item for a child/teen.
If you wish to purchase multiple items, click on the photo, then enter the multiple total on the check out page. That will allow you to calculate the total number of items you wish to purchase for the kids, enter your information on our secure check out page, and receive your receipt by email.
*Because of Romanian Customs Taxes, we cannot accept in-kind gifts of clothes/shoes directly at our US office. All of these items will be purchased in Romania and distributed directly to the kids we serve. We will send out tax deductible receipts AND an end of the summer full report with photos and stories.

School Supplies Received With Love
Ogra, Romania – September brings not only the promise of autumn but also a heartwarming tradition that has been changing lives year after year. In what has become an anticipated event, children participating in Ogra’s Prevention of Abandonment program are set on a path to academic success, armed with the complete array of school supplies.
This remarkable feat, which has touched countless young hearts, owes its existence to the unwavering support of our esteemed friends from the Netherlands, including Rudolph, Julie, Aniette, and their dedicated collaborators. For over a decade, their enduring commitment has been the cornerstone of this transformative initiative.
“The impact of their faithful collaboration cannot be overstated,” remarked [Your Name], spokesperson for Ogra. “It’s not merely about school supplies; it’s about altering the course of these children’s futures and, in turn, their families.”
Indeed, the ripple effect of their generosity has transcended generations, instilling hope and opportunity where it is needed most.
As an expression of gratitude, Ogra presents a glimpse into this year’s school supply donation activity through a series of captivating photographs, a testament to the power of unity and compassion in action.
In the spirit of continued partnership, Ogra extends its heartfelt appreciation to all who have contributed to this noble cause. Together, we are forging brighter tomorrows for our community’s children.
