Inside a Roma community...

Roma children are four times more likely to die before their 5th birthday than the average Romanian child who is still much more at risk than his peers in other European Union countries. In Romania’s Constanta County, Roma children often go hungry, don’t have enough clean water to drink and lack the conditions in which to learn and thrive. On this International Day for the Eradication of Poverty, World Vision calls on governments, partners and the wider community to take concrete steps to end poverty and prioritise the wellbeing of children.
