Supporting education together with Save the Children Romania (2020)

The necessary measures taken to limit the spread of the coronavirus pandemic had negative consequences for children, both on their educational progress and on their emotional health. According to the “Impact of Covid-19 on children in Romania” survey launched by Save the Children Romania, almost half of children do not have access to a tablet or computer, the only device that can allow real participation in online classes, and over 50% say that one of the major risks of this period was internet addiction and, as such, exposure to aggressive content and fake news.

At One United Properties, we believe education should be accessible to every child. Along with many other schools from disadvantaged backgrounds in the country, children from the school in Cobadin, Constanța County, who did not participate at all in classes because of lack of devices, received in December 2020 tablets through Save the Children Romania, so they could stay connected to education.
