The program started in 2015, with a number of 20 children from the Ana and the Children Day Center – Bucharest. This year, the initiative expands to 200 children who need help every day.

Together, we can create lasting change and a brighter future for the children in our care,” added Mihaela Voivozeanu, President, “Ana and the Children” Association.
Genesis Property volunteers have also rehabilitated the Community Center in Urlați, Prahova, which benefits not only the over 50 children who attend it daily but also the micro-community formed around it. Several improvements were made during this action, such as the pouring of three concrete platforms and the distribution of 26 tons of gravel in the yard. Additionally, a gazebo and a shed were refurbished, and several pieces of furniture and exterior décor were painted.
