What We Are Doing ?
HIV/AIDS Support
Love Light Romania is dedicated to providing support services to children, teenagers & families affected by HIV/AIDS.
End of Life Care
We believe that everyone has the right to die with dignity, where they can access medication and not be alone.
Tackling Poverty
Understanding poor family communities, instead of judging them, helps us to stop cycles of poverty in future generations.
Where we work
We have been working in the area of Transylvania, Romania, since 2000. We have projects in Mediaș, Sighişoara and Târgu-Mureș.
Mission
Love Light Romania is dedicated to serving marginalized groups in Romania, in both the field of HIV and breaking cycles of poverty. Empowering communities who would otherwise not have the right to a healthy life, education or employment.
Vision
To provide material and emotional support to people with HIV/AIDS and those who live well below the poverty line, so that they can have a healthy, safe and prosperous future.
Method
Through listening to people’s individual needs, we can provide a professional plan of action and with our specially trained team we can offer high quality service. By being a voice for those who are weak and discriminated against, we ensure that children, young adults, entire communities do not struggle alone.
Why
Well, when I am asked why Love Light Romania was started and why we have established these projects and live here, I always say for me it is For the Love of God. I know that may sound dramatic but it really is for me, I always wanted to serve and have a deep faith. For me it felt like I was guided to Romania because of circumstances and experiences that took place. Here I found a need of service and it felt that this is where we should establish our NGO and service.

We are committed Christians who on Humanitarian Aid trips to Romania in the 1990s saw the terrible need of the children, and moved to Romania in 2000 with a dream, our love of, and desire to follow Jesus. We have devoted all our time since to our work with sick, dying and disadvantaged children.
“Whoever will not carry the cross that is given to them when they follow me,
cannot be my follower”
– Luke 14:27

Our
Projects
Currently we are involved in 2 major projects in Romania in the field of HIV and breaking cycles of poverty

HIV/AIDS Support Programs
The Sanctuary is the heart of our HIV support programs. These include free transport to hospitals for regular check-ups, medicines and hospital transfers. It is vital that a person who is suffering from HIV stays in control of their disease. If they take their medicines correctly and on time then they can get to a level where they can’t transmit the disease to others.
Jacodu Childrens Project
We have an afterschool program takes place at the Jacodu Children’s Project Learning Center. While the children now attend school more regularly, they still remain illiterate due to poor attendance in the past. A special needs teacher works with small groups of the children using basic teaching methods and tools, which they are able to understand and learn from.We Need You Help!

Testimonials
Recently we made a visit to the project at Jacodu and on the way back we stopped at the homes of the families who use it. It made me realise the massive difference Love Light Romania make to people living in desperate poverty, who would otherwise remain forgotten and excluded from society. Love Light Romania knows that helping the children gain confidence and skills through education can be a first step towards breaking the cycle of poverty which traps them.
Ed Gifford
Since the formation of Love Light Romania many children now have a quality of life they must never have envisaged. While I stayed with them it was great to see them so happy and for those who were not so well the care and attention they got was amazing. Every penny raised for Love Light helps the disadvantaged in so many ways through their various projects. It is a privilege to be able to help them and may God bless them in all they do.

For anyone who has ever loved a child, you will be moved by the extraordinary work of Love Light Romania. It has given these children love and hope, when they were faced with loneliness and despair. If you are lucky enough to see the work of Love Light Romania, it will make an impression on you that will last a lifetime.

Living Well Church is delighted to be connected with the work of Love Light Romania. We have been involved since 2008 and it forms a significant part of our mission activity as a church. We have raised money and have also had the opportunity to travel to Romania and provide hands on support. The work carried out by Love Light is really important and carries a Christian ethos. We look forward to being involved and partnering with them for many years to come.
