Vote to help at-risk children at the Fountain of Hope to have access to new counseling services!
AMURTEL Romania is participating in the Raiffeisen Community Grants Program, an annual online contest of socially responsible projects.
AMURTEL’s project is called “Mom and Dad, stay with me! I don’t want money I want you!” which is designed to address the needs of those children whose parents leave Romania to work abroad, a widespread phenomenon which is causing many children to experience the pain of abandonment. The consequences reflect in a variety of social problems, including increased risk of school dropout. The proposed project would expand the services offered at our Fountain of Hope After School Center. Here are the objectives:
- To increase the self confidence of children from rural environments in order to overcome the feeling of failure generated by lack of money
- To improve the communication between teachers and students
- To raise the awareness of parents regarding the importance of effective financial planning
The target group consists of approximately 100 children from the rural area of Panatau, at risk of early school drop out, whose families are socially disadvantaged. There will be a special emphasis on those whose parents are working abroad.
Through this project, AMURTEL Romania will be able to organize individual sessions with a psychologist, to develop courses in the school with teachers and parents about financial management and to raise awareness about the importance of family.
