About Us - ForaChild

🌟 How It Started

A Vision Born from Compassion

Three years ago, a group of students in Denmark realized something powerful: the everyday items we take for granted in Europe could be life-changing for children in Moldova.

We discovered that things widely available and affordable in Denmark and across Europe—toys, warm clothes, books, basic necessities—were luxuries for many Moldovan children, especially those in orphanages and from struggling families without parents or stable support.

What started as a conversation among friends became a calling: What if we could bridge this gap? What if we could bring the warmth and joy of Christmas to children who had never experienced it?

"We didn't just want to give gifts. We wanted to share the true spirit of Christmas—the message of love, hope, and the good news of the Gospel. Every child deserves to know they are valued and loved."

Our Journey

From a spark of an idea to hundreds of children touched

2023 - The Beginning

An Idea Takes Root

A group of students in Denmark discusses the disparity between Europe and Moldova. The idea of a Christmas gift project is born.

First planning meetings held

December 2023

First Christmas Project

Our inaugural mission! We delivered gifts to 50 orphan or poor children in Moldova, bringing smiles and spreading the Christmas message.

50 children reached · 10+ volunteers · 1 unforgettable experience

2024 - Growth

Expanding Our Reach

Word spreads! More volunteers join from Denmark and Germany. We establish stronger networks in Moldova and refine our processes.

Team grows to 40+ volunteers

December 2024

Doubling Our Impact

Our second Christmas project reaches 200 children! Better organization, more useful gifts, and deeper connections with the children.

200 children · 25 volunteers · 8+ orphanages or locations visited

2025 - Our Vision

Aiming for 600 Children

This Christmas, we're setting our most ambitious goal yet—600 children receiving gifts and hearing the message of God's love.

Goal: 600 children · More specialized gifts · Expanded team

The Future

Building Something Lasting

We dream of year-round programs, educational support, and a sustainable model that ensures no child is forgotten. With your help, this vision becomes reality.

Every child reached · Every smile counted · Every life transformed

Why Moldova?

Moldova is one of Europe's poorest countries, where thousands of children live without basic necessities—and without hope.

📉

26% poverty rate

Over a quarter of the population lives in poverty

👨‍👩‍👧

30,000+ orphaned children

Growing up without parental care

🏚️

Rural families struggle

Many can't afford basic necessities

These aren't just statistics—they're children with dreams, potential, and hearts longing to be seen and loved. We believe God has called us to be His hands and feet in Moldova, bringing both physical gifts and spiritual hope.
