Hope and Homes for Children is a UK registered charity based in Wiltshire which operates in Central and Eastern Europe and Africa. Sofronie Foundation supports HHC’s de-institutionalisation programme for children’s orphanages in Eastern Europe. HHC have developed a unique model for closing the institutions which has been recognised by international experts, UNICEF and the World Health Organisation as best practice in the field. After careful assessment of each child and working closely with local authorities, HHC find a new home for every child in the institution. This is done in a variety of ways involving reintegration with their original birth family, adoption, fostering or a move to a small family style home established by HHC. Sofronie Foundation is funding two family-style homes as part of the project to close Abrud Institution in Romania in spring 2008. 53 children currently live at the institution.
