The low standard of living in Oltenia affects families with many children in many aspects. Due to financial shortcomings, children are left without education, often are missing from school, some of them drop out of school and they start begging or go to work together with parents in order to provide for their families.
Therefore the After School Program was started for children grades 1 – 4. The program provides a place for children to come 5 days a week to receive assistance with school work as well as additional and fun educational opportunities.
