“We need to contribute, offer support, and lend a hand in other communities as well, not just our own.” — Irina, IPSO
Irina, an IPSO ambassador and Narada volunteer, talks about the role of education and the power of community. For her, volunteering means learning, purpose, and the joy of bringing goodness closer to others.

“I don’t have time to get bored” – The story of Maria, the little girl who turned quarantine into creativity
Maria, a 10-year-old student from Teșila, Prahova, has shown that digital education can be a source of inspiration and joy. Amidst the challenges, she discovered a passion for drawing, music, and online learning. Her story, part of the Naradian communities, shows just how much strength and curiosity children can have when school offers them support, confidence, and the freedom to be creative.
2020 – Response for Education
Just a few days after the pandemic broke out, we took action. In record time, we rapidly shifted to online learning.
2021 – NaradiX
A platform built to address the urgent need for educational catch-up. With the help of volunteer teachers, we’ve digitized all the curriculum for grades K–8, created user-friendly video lessons, and developed content tailored for children. 35,000 users, hundreds of thousands of page views, and children from 131 countries have learned with NaradiX.
2021 – HartaEdu
We took a close look at the country’s map and saw something else: unaddressed emergencies, cold classrooms, missing labs, and collapsed roofs. That’s how HartaEdu came to be—a platform that highlights schools’ needs and mobilizes communities. Results? Over 500 alerts resolved, over 120,000 children helped.
2024 – Off to School
Because yes, in 2024, there are still children who don’t go to school because they have nothing to wear on their feet. We started with this harsh reality and mobilized an entire country. 2,698 children fully outfitted, 73 schools supported, over 1,300 donors, and dozens of content creators involved. It was more than a campaign—it was a wave of solidarity.
2023 – Student Alert
We didn’t stop at identifying needs—we created an intervention system that changes lives. For children at risk of dropping out of school, we provided: tutoring, psychological counseling, supplies, and emotional support. 100% of the beneficiaries continued their education. One even published a book of poetry.
2023 – Together for Our School
60 schools across the country, 41,700 students, parents, and teachers—all working together toward a common goal: to turn shortages into decent learning conditions. We repaired roofs, brought heat to classrooms, and, above all, restored the children’s sense that school is a place that matters.
2022 – Ukraine Resilience Fund
The war has changed lives. Narada responded with empathy and action: we created emotional support courses for Romanian teachers working with refugee children and Romanian language immersion lessons for 250 Ukrainian students. 25 teachers and 50 schools received the tools they needed to ensure no one was left behind.
2022 – Save a School
25 schools, 25 critical alerts, and a single day when everyone—children, teachers, parents, and influencers—joined forces to raise funds. Simultaneous Christmas fairs, items auctioned off with heart and soul, and a lesson in civic entrepreneurship shared with the students. “It’s okay for us to do it” is no longer just a motto; it’s a way of life.
