Salvați Copiii Iași

What Salvați Copiii Iași does

Salvați Copiii Iași is a Romanian non-governmental, non-profit association (Asociația Salvați Copiii Iași), founded in 1991 and operating as the Iași branch of Salvați Copiii România (Save the Children Romania), itself a member of the Save the Children International alliance active in 120+ countries. The organization delivers child welfare services across five program pillars: Health (medical equipment for neonatal units and maternal health support), Education (four educational centers, Școala Mobilă / Mobile School for afterschool support, daily hot meals, and remedial education), Protection (specialized child protection services), Children's Rights (advocacy aligned with the UN Convention), and Lobby/Policy advocacy. It serves vulnerable children and families, including Romanian and Ukrainian refugee children, across Iași, Botoșani, Galați, and Vaslui counties in northeastern Romania, reaching 500+ children daily through educational centers and supporting additional beneficiaries through targeted programs such as Creative Healing (therapeutic art for 40 children in pediatric oncology at Sfânta Maria Hospital).

The organization's underlying technology is limited to standard digital donation infrastructure: a website with integrated one-time and recurring donation functionality (salvaticopiii-isasi.ro, plus umpleinima.salvaticopiii-iasi.ro), an SMS donation system (PAPA keyword to 8844 enabling 2 EUR monthly contributions), and direct-debit monthly giving. There are no proprietary AI systems, APIs, or mobile applications disclosed; the technology serves fundraising enablement rather than program delivery differentiation.

Revenue is generated through four primary streams: individual donations (one-time and recurring via online, SMS, and direct debit — supporting 500+ children daily); Romania's 3.5% income tax redirection mechanism (Form 230); corporate partnerships and sponsorships (including the annual Gala Zâmbet în Dar and Festival De Basm); and institutional grants (EU co-funding via the Ministry of European Funds, Interreg NEXT Romania–Republic of Moldova, Administrația Fondului Cultural Național, and Primăria Municipiului Iași). The organization is governed by a Board led by President Ioana Atasiei and Vice President Adrian Mironescu, with a small specialized team (11–50 employees) including project coordinators such as Claudia Penescu (Creative Healing) and Corina Mighiu (inclusion program).
