A word from the president
Why I do what I do.
The wish to help the people around me has been with me from an early age. At 17 I began to get involved in an organised way through my church, and since 2020 I have continued this mission through the Ambasadorii Cerului Association.
Today we support more than 300 families every year. To us they are not names on a list: we know their situation and follow it closely, so that help reaches those who truly need it. We also work with more than 70 young people, offering them dialogue, guidance and encouragement.
We stood by refugees from Ukraine at the railway station as they arrived in Romania, and by families affected by the earthquakes in Türkiye. We are close to homeless people, to widows and widowers, and to families going through difficult medical situations.
Our next step is a social centre, built from the ground up together with everyone who wants to contribute. For me, helping means integrity and accountability: every contribution we receive is a sign of trust, and we treat it with the utmost seriousness.
Thank you to everyone who has stood with us so far. If you would like to join us, our door is open.

From our work
Involvement you can see.
Türkiye, February 2023
After the earthquakes, Ioan Caraian and the team travelled to the affected areas with nappies, hygiene products and other aid, given directly to families.
Faces have been hidden to protect the people we helped.
Shelter and dignity
We take part in building simple wooden shelters for families living in makeshift conditions, to give them protection in the cold months.
Active campaigns
Three ways to help.
Standing with Ukraine
We support people in Ukraine through our partners all year round, with extra attention to winter needs: money, clothes, food and hygiene products.

A social centre, from scratch
Our long-term goal is a social centre for people in need. We do not have a location yet: we are looking for land or a building, partners and resources.
