House of Hope Children's Home

Dobrun, Romania

The vision for the Romania Children’s Home came from a Romanian woman, Camelia Cismaru, who witnessed the extreme neglect and abandonment of Romanian orphans in loveless state institutions. Camelia had a burden from God to help children in her country by removing babies or young children from government orphanages and giving them long-term care in a family environment. For the first three years, Camelia’s family started the House of Hope by opening their home to four babies. Since then a larger house has been built, which is now home to ten children and provides a family-style setting where house parents live with the children 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and the children are involved in all aspects of a family-type home.
