Core offering

Fundația Vodafone România is a non-profit foundation that funds and implements social programs in healthcare (neonatal equipment and telemedicine), digital education (for seniors and youth), and social services across Romania. It provides grants to NGOs, delivers free digital literacy workshops, equips hospitals with medical technology, and operates mobile applications such as Bright Sky RO for domestic violence support.

Product overview

Fundația Vodafone Romania is a non-governmental charitable organization (established 1998) that operates as a grant-making foundation rather than a technology product company. Its portfolio consists of strategic social programs focused on digital inclusion, healthcare, and education for disadvantaged communities in Romania. The main programs include: Fondul Viață pentru Nou-Născuți (neonatal care equipment and telemedicine), Hi Digital (senior digital education with workshops and e-learning), Școala din Valiză (rural school digital education with technology kits and platform), Bright Sky Romania (domestic violence support mobile app), and Școala din Viitor (digital lessons for schools). The organization also runs grant programs (Fondul pentru Fapte Bune, Connecting for Good) funding external NGO projects, and COVID-19 response initiatives.
