About Us

Daneș is a village nine kilometers from Sighișoara, in the heart of Transylvania. Around 5,000 people live here, of whom about 500 belong to the Roma community. Most of them live difficult lives: many have no steady job and earn their money sorting plastic, metal, and other recyclables at the Sighișoara landfill.

Poverty pushes many children from these families out of school early. Young people are tempted by the illusion of easy work abroad, and some end up in crime instead.

We believe it does not have to stay this way. Through our programs we support the work of the village’s own institutions, the City Hall, the school, and the church, to raise the education level of the Roma community and to strengthen social responsibility among the locals. Alongside this, Perspective Daneș provides spiritual, educational, and social support throughout the Sighișoara area, in both short and long-term projects.

We are open to partnerships and new projects, and we are committed to serving this community with a holistic approach: material, emotional, educational, and spiritual.
