About FAST
FAST is a Romanian organisation established in September 1998 by Daniel and Ema Hristea. Our aim is to help marginalized children, youth and families through educational, vocational and community development projects in the area of Brasov.
Since the very beginning, we have persistently worked for the social integration of people in need, contributing to their personal, vocational and social development. Our work has helped hundreds of children and families, providing access to better education, safer homes and equal chances to decent living conditions. Our motto has always been:
“Give a man a fish, and you will feed him for one day...
Teach him how to fish and you will feed him for life.”
A word from the Founders
"We started FAST in September 1998. Little did we know that the small seeds we planted in those days would grow into the “big trees” of today. Over the years, we have known both failure and success and have learned that all circumstances God brings our way, are in fact stepping stones towards our destination.
Today, FAST has become a seasoned professional organisation, a hope for those in need and a reliable partner to other NGOs and the local authorities.
However we didn’t do this alone! Committed support and generous deeds of kindness from friends, volunteers and supporters all over the world, have inspired us to keep going. Thank you for believing in us: Together we have indeed made a difference!
Very special thanks and appreciation to our 4 children who always stood with us through good times and hard times and still are to this day, the dearest and closest supporters of our work!"
