Community initiatives launch support programs for children and mothers in Romania

The Fundația Pentru Comunitate has announced the 18th edition of the MOL Program for Children's Health. This initiative provides a total fund of 640,000 lei to support NGOs conducting emotional therapy and psychosocial intervention projects for children with special needs or chronic illnesses. Individual projects can receive a maximum of 50,000 lei, with applications open online until October 28, 2026. Over the previous 17 editions, the program has allocated more than 6.8 million lei to benefit approximately 16,540 children and adolescents.

In Ploiești, the second edition of the ‘Invisible Mothers’ project is set to provide eight months of support for mothers caring for children with disabilities. Running from November 2026 to June 2027, the program offers psychological counseling, financial education, first aid training, and relaxation activities such as yoga and pilates. Developed by the Asociația Antreprenorilor de Fapte Bune, the initiative aims to create a community space for these women to connect and receive support. Registration for the project is open until October 31, 2026.
