Who We Are | Veritas Foundation Sighisoara

Our Story

Veritas Foundation was established in 1996 in Sighisoara, Romania, with a clear mission: to offer social support and a helping hand to the most vulnerable members of our community. For 30 years, we have grown from a small initiative into a respected non-governmental organization running four major social services.

Our name, "Veritas" — meaning "truth" in Latin — reflects our commitment to transparency, integrity and genuine care for every person who walks through our doors.

The Foundation is a Christian, ecumenical organization and a provider of social and educational services, working for a positive change in the lives of the people of Sighisoara.
