FARA Charity Shops fund the work of the FARA Foundation in Romania. FARA transforms the lives of the poorest, most vulnerable and disadvantaged children, young people and their families. Founded in 1991 by Jane Nicholson, FARA runs a series of programmes to enable children with disabilities to access therapy, adults with learning difficulties are provided a safe and loving home, and children from the poorest, most remote villages have access to education, food and shelter. FARA is one of the largest and most experienced NGO care providers in Romania, reaching out to the poor, the marginalised and most discriminated in society. But it goes beyond just being a care provider. At FARA, family and friendships are at the heart of everything we do and our work is truly life changing for many families living in abject poverty. Our mission is to build communities and families, to love and serve them, fulfilling lives, rebuilding futures, and spreading hope. https://www.faracharity.org/about/
