Veritas is a Christian organization seeking to make a positive difference in the lives of the people of Sighisoara, through service to individuals and families in need, through a variety of educational programs, and through outreach into the community. |

Veritas is founded on the conviction that all people are
children of God, created with common needs and unique potential. Our programs
address material, physical, social and spiritual needs. We seek to empower people to gain greater
control over their own lives, helping them to develop the gifts and talents
God has given them, encouraging them to trust in God as the ultimate source
of purpose and hope. |

Veritas has a range of services targeting particular disadvantaged
groups - abandoned babies and toddlers, children and adolescents from
poor families, the elderly, and people with disabilities.
Educational programs offered to the general public include computer
and English classes, film and theater club, small business seminars
and Internet workshops.. Community development is promoted through a
lively volunteer program and through networking with local institutions,
NGOs and churches. Veritas is a legally registered Romanian non-government
organization. It grew out of the Romanian Studies Program of Eastern
Nazarene College, which began bringing students and volunteers to Sighisoara
in 1995. Veritas activities
are carried out by an international, interdenominational team of Romanians,
Americans and other westerners - paid staff, volunteers and students. Veritas is supported through donations from
individuals and churches in Great Britain and the US. It is closely
affiliated with the Church of the Nazarene. Fundatia Veritas, Piata Cetatii Nr 8, Sighisoara. Tel/fax: 040-265-777844 Mailing Address: Casuta Postala Nr 68, Sighisoara 545400,
