UniCredit Foundation

Ana si Copii Association is a non-profit organisation dedicated to improving the lives of vulnerable children and families in Romania.

Founded with the mission to offer support, education, and care, the association provides essential services such as food, shelter, and psychological counselling.

Through various programmes, they empower families in need, helping them build a brighter future. The association's work has transformed the lives of countless children, giving them hope and stability in difficult times.
Ana si Copii crossed the Foundation's path through the Call for Education 2022, which made it possible to support the implementation of activities for children in a peripheral area outside Bucharest.

The "Growth Mindset Programs for Vulnerable Children and Youth" aims to enhance social inclusion for 500 vulnerable children and youth in Romania over three years. The programme addresses key issues such as educational segregation, social exclusion, and inadequate infrastructure in schools.
The programme targets vulnerable children and youth aged 11 to 1, in Bucharest's District 3, particularly in the Pallady area, as well as the intersection of Bucharest and Ilfov counties. These students face significant educational and social challenges and are in urgent need of support.
The programme operates in both urban and rural areas within Bucharest and Ilfov counties, focusing on the most marginalised regions. It aims to improve conditions in schools by providing comprehensive support and resources.
Adopting a multidimensional and community-centred approach, the programme provides 360-degree support, including economic, medical, and family assistance. It involves formal and non-formal educational services, counselling for parents and teachers, and the development of a proactive, participatory culture. By fostering partnerships and leveraging community support, the programme aims to address the holistic needs of students and create a sustainable impact.

In 2025, UniCredit Foundation expanded its support to Ana and the Children and the 'Growth Mindset' programme through the Edu-Fund Platform, aiming to reach an additional 300 vulnerable students. The initiative provides them with essential knowledge, skills, and attitudes, ensuring equal access to quality education – empowering them to grow into functional, responsible, and socially and professionally integrated adults.

One student at a Time:
Interview to Oana Bulmaga

UniCredit Foundation is launching a new series of video clips to share with you all: ‘One student at a time - stories of educational empowerment’. Each episode tells, through the eyes of its protagonists, the story of a student whose life has changed thanks to the support of the organisations the Foundation supports. Each story is special and precious in its own way – underlining how the Foundation's investment in young people is a process that pays off in the long run.
