Who We Are

The Elpis Foundation was founded in June, 1999 with 8 volunteers and no financial resources. With spiritual motivation and high beliefs that God is able to do mighty things using little or few things, if we are willing to unselfishly serve our neighbors.

The first project initiated was the Elpis Kindergarten in Dej. A summer day camp program followed the next summer. By 2013, 100 children attended the kindergarten, with a scholarship program for underprivileged children. In 2005, an ethical and moral counseling project was created for high school students. Many other projects are in the works, including daily social assistance programs for senior citizens, house rebuilding in areas afflicted by natural disasters, gifting bags of food to poor families, and reaching out to the men in prisons. In The Vladeasa Center day camps and meetings with pastors and missionaries are held.

Today, we are partners with 10 different organizations in Romania, The United States, Scotland, Ukraine and Holland.
