Home-Start was introduced in Romania as part of a SEE-funded project from 2009 to 2014. Fundatia Adina Stiftelsen (FAS) implemented the “New Start” scheme with guidance from Norwegian experts, leading to significant success. The project was recognised as the best National Volunteers Project in Romania in 2015. In 2017, FAS joined Home-Start Worldwide and became a fully accredited member in 2018. The scheme, originally known as Home-Start Craiova, was renamed Home-Start Dolj in 2021, and by 2024 had trained 35 volunteers who supported 45 families and 150 children.
