Welcome to The Libra Foundation

UK students working with disabled and disadvantaged children

Libra’s over-arching aim is to improve the quality of life for disabled and disadvantaged children overseas, while providing a wide range of UK sixth-form students with personal development in leadership, team work, planning and long-term commitment and loyalty.

This innovative and child-centred programme is currently working across Romania in residential centres for abandoned and/or disabled children, with the impoverished and often segregated Rroma communities and with underprivileged Romanian children. Following year-round training and fundraising in the UK, the students spend two weeks in July working on one of the Libra projects.
