JRS Romania joins monthly Immigration Office coordination to review vulnerable cases, co-design solutions, and coordinate complex support for severe Gaza medical cases.

𝐉𝐑𝐒 𝐃𝐚𝐢𝐥𝐲 𝐌𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬 Working with people always requires special effort and a big heart. Every day we listen, support, look for solutions in difficult situations, offer guidance, and simply stay close. But we also know: it’s not always possible to help in every situation.

Valentyna, 68, fled Mykolaiv. In Bucharest, her savings are almost gone and a €50/month pension can’t cover rent, food, and medicine. She urgently needs support.

Hospitality starts at home: speak kindly, listen, hold the door, give a seat. If we want to welcome refugees, let’s first welcome each other today.

Let’s tell everyone what refugees truly want. We’ll start first: • Peace • Safety • Freedom • Protection • Dignity • Education • Work • Community • A future • A home What do you think they want? 👇Reply in the comments.👇 #Refugees #HumanDignity #Peace #Safety #solidarity #Hope

In recent times of increasing global crisis, JRS has remained steadfast, accompanying more than 1 million refugees and other forcibly displaced people each year. Together, we can build a world where every displaced person finds protection, opportunity, and participation.

The Voice of Hind Rajab in cinemas from Feb 6. On Jan 2024 Red Crescent volunteers took an emergency call: 6-year-old Hind trapped in a car under fire in Gaza, begging for rescue. Her voice echoes our “A New Home” refugees in Romania. Stay attentive and human, don’t let suffering fade into noise.

Wasfi is our colleague and he came to Romania from Syria as a refugee. 🧳 He has been working with JRS Romania for almost three years. He helps other refugees find a home 🏠 and has taught robotics courses to Ukrainian children 🤖. This is his story. www.facebook.com/share/p/1CEC...

Two elderly refugee pensioners have ended up homeless in Romania. They are not the only ones. They are just two faces of a reality we see more and more often. What stays with us is a bitter feeling. Powerlessness. Despair. Full story www.facebook.com/share/r/1Ara...

Ludmila, 66, from Odesa, lives in Bucharest alone. A knee injury and worsening vision make walking painful. Without a registered address she can’t access disability support, and she’s often forced to move. Sometimes she goes hungry. It is hard. She has no one to turn to.

27 ianuarie 2026 Ziua Internațională de Comemorare a Victimelor Holocaustului Pentru noi, înseamnă faptul că demnitatea și drepturile nu sunt negociabile, niciodată, pentru nimeni. Vedem cât de repede frica dezumanizează, iar memoria Holocaustului ne obligă să reacționăm la ură.

PRIORITĂȚILE NOASTRE PROGRAMATICE

Today, in an ordinary conversation at a shop, the cashier asked me very directly: “Hey, you work with refugees, so you probably know better. Is there really a war in Ukraine, like people say?”I froze for a second, shocked. What would you reply? We’re genuinely curious.

JRS Romania is in Portugal with partners from Romania, Ukraine, and Poland for the Erasmus+ EMBRACE project. We’re developing practical tools to stop the exclusion of young migrants, refugees, and displaced youth through Intercultural Education and Positive Psychology.

Before we can help, there’s an invisible phase: meetings that turn good intentions into workable projects. We listen to refugees, then align internally, testing ideas from different angles. We review data, cases, rules, budgets, timelines, and risks, asking what will change?

Svitlana, 44, a mother of three from Mykolaiv, held on through years of war until her son’s health began to suffer. “My child’s safety had to come first.” Now in Bucharest, she’s rebuilding from zero. Read the full story facebook.com/share/p/1K35...

In our Romanian language course, we talk about work 💼. About jobs, professions 🛠️, what we do day by day 📅, and how we manage workplace conversations 🗣️. We practice with concrete examples ✅, simple questions ❓, real-life situations 👥 Step by step 👣, at everyone’s own pace ⏳.

Words can dehumanize fast. Labels like “invaders”, “criminals”, “parasites” turn real people into caricatures, and empathy drops. History shows this language often fuels discrimination and abuse. Don’t normalize it. Read the full article in the link. www.facebook.com/share/p/1Bsz...

30 Palestinian families (126 people) evacuated from Gaza found safe housing in Romania with JRS support. Apr–Dec 2025: 429,171 RON (€86k) spent on rent. Many are single mothers; some children need urgent medical care. Support continues in 2026. Donate: jrsromania.org/en/donate-2/

We spoke with migration students in Timișoara about the unseen reality of NGO work: funding pressure, daily multitasking, bureaucracy, tough choices, and burnout risk. But also the “first step” wins, real impact, fast learning, and the courage of refugees that keeps you going. tinyurl.com/yad3ybsj

LEGO® Robotics course finished. Two groups of refugee children received certificates after building, programming, and testing robots while practicing English. Great teamwork and confidence all around. Thanks to parents and our trainer, and to Entreculturas & JRS Europe.

Children need safety first 🛡️. At JRS Romania’s education center 📷, kids saw snow for the first time this year ❄️—smiles, energy, pure joy. But many carry memories no child should: sirens, drones, nights in shelters. Their laughter is real, and so is what sits behind it. Support must not fade. 💙💛

Strategic Framework Our Europe is changing fast, and not for the better. This framework reaffirms our mission: to stay close, to provide practical support to refugees and migrants, and to speak out alongside them when people’s rights are ignored. jrseurope.org/en/strategic...

𝐅𝐞𝐰𝐞𝐫 𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐜𝐞𝐬. 𝐌𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐡𝐮𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐲. JRS continues to provide education to children & adults. But funding has been sharply reduced. Yet the need for support hasn’t gone away. 𝘽𝙪𝙩 𝙬𝙚 𝙧𝙚𝙢𝙖𝙞𝙣 𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙚. We act with what we have. 🌍 The war continues. So do the needs. 𝗦𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸.

Yesterday we met The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, a long-term JRS Romania partner. In 2025, their support helped us assist 3,061 Ukrainian refugees with over EUR 250,000 used for direct services. We reviewed #OneProposal and planned next steps.
