Veritas Foundation team and community

Veritas Foundation Sighisoara

Founded in 1996, Veritas Foundation is a non-governmental, non-profit organization based in Sighisoara, Romania. Our mission is to support vulnerable people in meeting their basic needs, developing their skills and fulfilling their potential, so that they can contribute to the community and to promoting Christian values.

We believe that every person deserves dignity, care and the chance to thrive. Through our four social services and the special "Generations" project, we touch the lives of over 150 people every day.

The Generations Project

Bridging the gap between young and old through shared activities, wisdom and joy.

We are honoured to run the 6th edition of the Generations Project, initiated by the Royal Margareta Foundation of Romania and supported by Hochland Romania. Over these years, more than 150 children and 20 senior volunteers have connected through 16 diverse workshops held over 10 months each year.

Throughout the years, children have benefited from workshops in: personal development, homework support, ecology and gardening, financial education, sports, music and dance, theatre, artistic creation, crafts, cooking, science, IT, fun maths, local history, health education and first aid.

The project also includes an educational trip and the celebration of important days such as Earth Day, Intergenerational Solidarity Day, Children's Day, Elderly Day, Volunteer Day and Open Doors Day. In the last two years we also celebrate the children's birthdays together with the seniors and staff.

The project is all the more valuable because the transfer of knowledge, joy and fulfilment is reciprocal. Seniors spend their time meaningfully, sharing their knowledge and talents. Children in turn develop harmoniously thanks to the patience and dedication of seniors, benefiting from a valuable grandparent–grandchild relationship.
