We provided shelters run by Iana Matei's Reaching Out organization, medical and psychological assistance, medicine and food. In a difficult time for them, we donated a total of 3,000 EUROS for this purpose. Our support covered the period from September to December 2019.

Iana Matei helps victims of human trafficking in Romania through the organization she founded Reaching Out. When she started twenty years ago, no one saw them. She opened the first shelter in this part of Europe for women, usually minors, forced to work in the sex trade. Romania ranks first in Europe in terms of the number of victims of human trafficking and children forced into prostitution.

Iana has saved over half a thousand women. In 2010, “Reader's Digest” awarded her the title of European Woman of the Year. World media wrote about the small shelter for victims of human trafficking. “The New York Times” wrote that it was "the only such center in this part of Europe". Unfortunately, recognition did not translate into financial assistance.
