Social-educative project for children and young people from rural and disadvantaged area Steps for a better future for children from rural communities

With doTERRA support, 54 children (6-14 years old) from Gura Vitoarei communities in Prahova county have benefited from over 80 offline and online personal development workshops and counseling sessions The workshops (indoor and outdoor) consisted of emotional intelligence games, art& craft and art therapy activities, role play, etc. Also ASA organized a summer camp in Arad county, including children from these Prahova communities, who thus had the chance to travel and to practice independent life skills.

All these activities helped them to avoid school dropout, to have better relationships with themselves and the others around them, less conflicts with colleagues, more confidence in their abilities and also cope with a high level of stress and anxiety, much increased within the last 2 pandemic years.

Over 300 children, young people, adults, benefited (indirectly) from the project activities through the transfer of know-how received from the direct beneficiaries.
