About the Foundation
The Genesis for Life foundation strongly believes that the most valuable lesson we can teach the children is that of generosity and of the power to pass on the good they have received.
Through personal example and active involvement, children learn the meaning of notions such as solidarity, empathy and power of a community coming together for a noble cause.
How Genesis for Life Got Started
The Genesis for Life project became a top priority in 2009, as it brought the Genesis community together (students, parents, teachers, partners) in its efforts to support premature babies in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) at the “Marie Skłodowska Curie” Children’s Emergency Hospital in Bucharest, together with Dr. Cătălin Cîrstoveanu.
Over time, this involvement has included donating medical equipment, campaigns and charity events, but above all, it has involved fostering a culture of responsibility and empathy, built step by step, with children at the forefront.

The Right to Education Belongs to All Children
In June 2020, the support of the Genesis Community made it possible to organise a charity auction whose resulting funds were donated to five children in need. Thus, they received high-performance tablets that were essential for them to attend the online classes during the coronavirus pandemic. Every year, during the holiday season, the Genesis community brings joy to the less fortunate ones, through the presents generously gifted by our students. At the Christmas Charity Fair, clothes, stationery and toys are collected to be brought to the children in need.
Through constant commitment in such causes, the Genesis for Life Foundation, together with the Genesis College Community aim to make a positive difference in the world – step by step – through solidarity, empathy and the wish to do good.
The Genesis for Life Foundation keeps on growing through the people who choose to get involved. Each act matters, and each action can change a life.
