Galați

In Galați county, 40 secondary school and high school students are beneficiaries of the Future Acceleration Program scholarship. These are children raised by single parents, grandparents or with families with many children, with insufficient financial resources. In villages like Buciumeni and Pechea, where some of these children live, parents barely find a job and feel compelled to go work abroad. The children and their parents do, however, believe in the power of education, and invest as much as possible to guide the children towards continuing their studies in high school and in college. “Education is the key stone of change”, says Anna Burtea, director of Inimă de Copil Foundation, an organization with a 24-year experience in working with children, families, and communities from Galați. “I believe it all comes down to chance, which is what we and our partners want to provide to all the children in the long term”, said Anna Burtea.
