Across all of our programmes around the world we work with trusted local partners, who know the areas and the communities we support. In Romania, we are working alongside our partners Asociatia Aproape De Oameni (ADO) to support Ukrainian refugees in the city of Iasi. 
Whilst this is a newer programme, set up in response to the Russian invasion of Ukraine, Children on the Edge has a long history working both in Romania, and with Marius Aonicesei who is the Director of ADO. We spoke to Marius to find out more about his connection with Children on the Edge, his work with ADO, and the challenges facing Ukrainian refugees in Romania, 15 months after the war first started.

Meet Child Protection Team Member Maria. Maria standing next to a small hut

In 2022 Children on the Edge started working with communities in the Karamoja region of Uganda, replicating our Child Protection Team model. The Children on the Edge Africa team worked alongside Karamajong community members to identify the needs in the area, which include child neglect and abuse, trafficking, hunger and crime, including a lack of police protection to tackle it, due to the remote nature of the settlements. ​
After identifying the needs in the area, they started building strong relationships with the wider community including local leaders, teachers and parents, supporting them to establish six voluntary Child Protection Teams for the 39 villages in the Lopoko sub county. 

26-year-old mother of two Maria, was elected and joined one of the newly formed Child Protection teams in her area. Since joining the team, she has proved to be a very committed and active member who leads by example to help make her community safer for the children who live there.
