About Effata

Effata was founded by the Brothers of Charity in 2001, initially as a day centre for young people with HIV. Later, this initiative evolved into a centre for after-school support for disadvantaged children from the neighbourhood. Currently, 25 children from 6 to 14 years of age are accommodated at Effata. In addition, there are two side projects in schools in Timișoara, where another 100 disadvantaged children, including many Roma youth, receive support from Effata.
