The Alexandrion Foundation will become actively involved and will make a series of donations to the Mia’s Children Association, in order to give the 45 children educated and cared for at the centre run by the Mia’s Children Association the opportunity to continue their studies and to grow up in an environment where they are offered protection and mentoring.
The 45 children helped by the Mia’s Children Association come from disadvantaged backgrounds, yet they have been given the chance to overcome their circumstances and become adults with fine professions and happy lives. They are children of all ages who, before coming to Mia’s Children, lived in very difficult conditions in which their health was at risk, and whose parents could not support them financially to study or to follow their passions. Now they study a variety of subjects, some of them are very talented and paint or play musical instruments, they play together and, most importantly, they are protected and loved. The Alexandrion Foundation stands with these children and helps them overcome this difficult period, marked by material needs and shortages, so that they can continue to develop in a good and healthy way.
Over the years, the Alexandrion Foundation has supported in various forms the education of children in rural schools, placement centres and non-governmental organisations across the country, providing materials for refurbishment and equipment and funding the educational programmes they organise. The school in Brâncoveni Commune, the Red Cross in Brașov, the Save the Children Foundation, the Negru Vodă Placement Centre in Galați and the “Children in Distress” Foundation in Pitești are among the organisations to which the Alexandrion Foundation has given support in the past.
“We are all going through dramatic times, in which the struggle between good and evil is growing sharper. People are worried, unprepared, afraid of something whose duration and effects they do not yet know. We live here with 45 children about whom nobody asks. The system has forgotten them, as it always has; their parents do not exist. And yet they live, they hear, they worry about this ‘Dragon’, this virus that they do not understand but that they have learned is dangerous and that the whole of humanity is threatened, at an impasse. And they have very few friends, people to whom they can tell their worries, from whom they can receive a comfort, an encouragement. Let alone an embrace. We thank the Alexandrion Foundation for the support it is giving us during this period, and we are glad that there are still companies that turn their attention to the needs of disadvantaged children,” said Mia Scarlat, founder of the Mia’s Children Association.

About the Alexandrion Foundation
The Alexandrion Foundation was established as a result of the numerous social activities carried out by the companies within Alexandrion Group. The company’s social responsibility projects were thus taken over and have been run under the umbrella of the Alexandrion Foundation for over 20 years. The Alexandrion Foundation has actively supported cultural achievement through the Constantin Brâncoveanu Awards since 2014, and this year they reach their 7th edition. Because the Alexandrion Foundation follows Alexandrion Group in its evolution, it also honours excellence through the Constantin Brâncoveanu Diaspora Awards and the Constantin Brâncoveanu International Awards. Through the Matei Brâncoveanu Awards, the Alexandrion Foundation rewards the development potential of those who demonstrate social involvement, through actions, research and exceptional achievements in their field of activity. Over time, the Foundation has also left its mark in supporting the performance of Romanian sport. The Alexandrion Trophies, which honour the international performance of Romanian athletes, reached their 5th edition in 2020. The Foundation stood alongside the Romanian Olympic and Sports Committee at the Athens Olympic Games in 2004, the Beijing Games in 2008 and the London Games in 2012. The support given took the form of creating high-level training conditions that would enable young athletes to achieve the best possible results. At the same time, a healthy lifestyle, in which sport holds an important place, was promoted.
