Adopt a project

Adopt a Project and help change the lives of homeless people. Casa Ioana presently has two temporary accommodation facilities accommodating 90 homeless families and single adults every day of the year. By adopting one of the accommodation facilities, your support will ensure that our homeless beneficiaries have secure and comfortable accommodation and find long-term help and solutions to their housing, employment, training and health problems. We will keep you informed with how your project is going and your staff can get involved with volunteering, material donations and staff fundraising.


We are always looking for help in developing projects that creating opportunities for our beneficiaries to improve their quality of life. If you would like to discuss or explore ways in which you can Adopt a Project, please contact Ian Tilling on +40 722 629 309 or email him at office@casaioana.org.


Case Studies

The InterContinental Hotel in Bucharest adopted Casa Ioana’s family accommodation facility at 39 – 41 Şoseaua Olteniţei in 2007. With their ongoing support we continue to improve the lives of the homeless families living there.


The InterContinental Hotel’s kind support includes in-kind donations, support in re-refurbishing the accommodation facility and Christmas presents to residents. Read what they have to say, below.


Dana Chiriac - Marketing and PR Manager

“In February 2007, InterContinental Bucharest initiated a long term relationship with “CASA IOANA”. One side of our partnership is in-kind donations and the other is volunteering work and help.


In June 2007, the hotel team convinced some of the hotel suppliers to donate together with us, materials and working hours for the re-partitioning of the shelter, which houses 50 homeless persons, as well as electrical wiring and painting.


During the year, the hotel has donated goods consisting of armchairs, sofas, mattresses, bed linen, pillows and 400 sq. m. of used carpet.


On 14 July 2007, a hotel team of 20 colleagues went to the homeless families’ facility to help the beneficiaries to paint their new rooms which had been built by our team.


Equipped with the painting tools and materials, t-shirts for everybody, food and soft drinks we went to the location and in one day we made their world feel much nicer and bigger! CASA IOANA is now one of our imbedded ongoing charitable activities.


With this project we participated in the ‘Winning Ways – Jigsaw Challenge’ contest (an IHG internal competition based on corporate values) and won the ‘Show We Care’ jigsaw piece.


Last December, the InterContinental team prepared Christmas food packages and toys for the 20 children in Casa Ioana and pillows, blankets and linen for their families.”


Jonathan Soper - General Manager

“Helping Casa Ioana we hope to make the families’ daily lives much more comfortable and to give them the confidence of long term support. Beside this, helping them is helping us to increase the bonding between our team members from many departments and to fulfil one of our values, ‘to show we care’.”
