The Loneliness Pandemic is killing Romania’s elderly.
Your gift will help us reach them before is too late.
During the Covid-19 pandemic, every one of us experienced what it feels like to be housebound and alone.
Spending time with other people is a basic human need. Prolonged loneliness can lead to depression and anxiety, which can result in a sharp decline in mental and physical health.
There are over 3.4 million Romanians today over the age of 65 – and 1 in 4 elderly in urban areas is very lonely. Even more, half of the Romanian seniors have no social support. For them, lockdown will never end.
Never Alone – Friends of the Elderly is an organization dedicated to solving the Loneliness Pandemic for our elderly. Our recent research has unearthed the vast scale of the problem, as well as giving our elderly people a platform for their voices to be heard.
Everyday volunteers from Never Alone visit hundreds of old people across the country, to help with daily tasks, to offer food packages, to accompany them to the doctor or just to take them for a coffee. Even the smallest human interaction can be a lifeline.
But Never Alone is a small organization and they cannot reach every elderly person who desperately needs their help. That is why they we need your support, so we can reach every single senior citizen in Romania who faces their last years alone.

This year, Endava, as Central Europe region has joined the Never Alone fundraising campaign, supporting the cause from Romania, Moldova and Bulgaria. Starting with 14th December until 17th January, no less than 800 elderly will benefit from the donations raised.
