Over 30 years ago, political revolution in Romania revealed images of poverty, neglect and institutional abuse on a vast scale. Humanitarian aid rolled in. It still does, even in 2021.
For UK charity, Belief in Action, practical aid is an essential part of supporting Romanian Christians to serve the poor and marginalised.
One initiative has been in collaboration with Hope Without Limits, a charity near Braşov. Headed by Pastor Otto Kis, a Medical Equipment Loans Scheme (MELS) has been established. Anyone with a short-or long-term illness or disability can borrow equipment aimed at making daily life easier.
