Scopul Asociaţiei „Tzuby’s Kids” este ca fiecare copil să beneficieze de o familie fie prin prevenirea avortului şi a abandonului, fie prin sprijinirea reintegrării copiilor în familii biologice, a integrării în familia extinsă, a plasamentului familial, a asistenţei maternale şi a adopţiei.
Acolo unde nu există altă posibilitate de intervenţie, scopul nostru este dezvoltarea durabilă a copiilor instituţionalizaţi, aflaţi în risc sau dificultate, precum şi a tinerilor care ies din sistemul de protecţie sau care sunt în situaţie de risc şi dificultate prin oferirea de suport în vederea recuperării fizice şi psiho-emoţionale, a dezvoltării vocaţionale şi a integrării sociale.

How do we empower caregivers to parent their adolescent children well?
Research and common knowledge both suggest that the most influential relationship in a child’s life is with his or her caregiver. A strong caregiver relationship can limit the effects of trauma, increase a child’s confidence and independence, and empower a child to explore life from a safe base. However, for their caregivers, a history of…
Greetings on behalf of the Romanian children from India!
For Christmas, in a Bethlehem’s manger, God showed us what humility means: ” And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.” (Luke 2, 12) Did you know that in Bucharest there is a district called India? Children who live here are truly…

Tzuby’s Kids – One year review
At the end of 2013 we have decided that my wife should take a sabbatical leave. We were not sure for how long and what she would be doing during this time but we were praying, according to Ephesians 2:10, that God will show us the good works He “prepared beforehand, that we should walk…
The most important need of a child
