CASA IOANA BRINGS A CHANGE
CASA IOANA BRINGS A CHANGE
Casa Ioana is different because we address the multiple issues that underlie domestic violence. This highly successful formula offers families opportunities to break out of desperate circumstances and begin their journey towards empowerment and economic independence.
Established in 1995, Casa Ioana Association is a non-governmental organization (NGO or charity) that empowers survivors of domestic violence and homeless families towards independence.
Casa Ioana is the leading independent provider of complex accommodation and support in Bucharest. Activities are designed to support survivors from the moment they leave their abusers until they feel ready to move on. The provision of safe accommodation and meals meets the physical and personal needs of the beneficiary, while vital psychosocial support and help with life and vocational skills enable survivors to be financially independent.

Help women and children facing domestic abuse and homelessness by booking a room for someone you'll never meet, in a place you'll hopefully never need.

Sponsor a child and help to create a new beginning free from fear
You have the opportunity to help a child get a fresh start away from fear. Children who have grown up in abusive homes need help to understand all that they have seen and experienced. At Casa Ioana, every child has access to trained and specialized counselors to help them heal.
Child sponsorship connects two people - a sponsor with a generous heart and a child in need. When you sponsor a child through a monthly giving plan, you give:
- a safe place to live
- three daily nutritious meals
- a dedicated team of professional social workers, psychologists and volunteers
Thanks to our platinum partner Kingfisher, we have already raised €60,000 out of the €120,000 needed to renovate the second centre in Bucharest.
The newly renovated centre will provide additional safe accommodation for seven more families. You can make a donation here of €66.000 needed to complete this project.
