Our projects
Casa Fericirii – Home of Happiness
In September 1998, 22 of all the HIV infected children in Cernavoda orphanage, left for the last time for their new home Casa Fericirii – Home of Happiness.
Tereza Community Centre
Nightingales cares as much for the community as for the people we look after. In 2017 we opened a coffee shop and play area for local families.
Human Trafficking Prevention
Together with the ‘Human Trafficking Foundation’, Nightingales is mentoring young girls who are in danger of going into prostitution.
Who we are
Nightingales Children’s Project is based in Cernavoda and Constanta in the South East of Romania. It is run by a mixture of British and Romanian staff and relies heavily on volunteer input.
The charity was set up by the current director, David Savage MBE, who came to Romania in 1992. In 2003, David was awarded the MBE by Queen Elizabeth II as a recognition of the work he has done.
Nightingales is able to use every donation to have a positive effect on those young people in our care, as our administration costs are minimal.
