Hope and Homes Romania focuses on closing down old-type institutions and replacing the institutional child protection system with a system that is based on a family concept. They seek to get the State to adopt their programmes for preventing the separation of children from their families and for reintegrating children with their families. Since the beginning, they have been constantly contributing to the reform of the child protection system in Romania. 18 years ago, in Romania, there were about 100,000 children in old-type institutions, also known as ‘orphanages’. Today, as a result of Hope and Home's programmes, only 8,000 children are left in institutions in Romania.
