Asociația Carusel

Carusel appeared in 2011 out of the need for solidarity, to offer social and medical services to people in situations of extreme vulnerability.

We are a group of activists and professionals in the field of risk reduction, and our interventions are based on scientific evidence, on international guidelines, following strategies and principles substantiated by long studies.

Our beneficiaries are people who face multiple vulnerabilities, where change cannot happen overnight. Our interventions focus mainly on immediate human needs, but at the same time we also think about the long term. We aim to reduce vulnerabilities step by step so that the most important thing happens – they stay alive.

We try to give a voice to the most vulnerable of the vulnerable - homeless people, drug users, people who practice commercial sex, people in extreme poverty or at risk of social exclusion, those living with HIV, TB or other diseases infectious diseases, victims of abuse, the undocumented or undocumented and many others. There are those who no one sees, who are marginalized, humiliated, bullied or ignored. Through our interventions we aim for something else: to restore their dignity and remind them that they are human.
