This year, the ECF helped to upgrade one woman's residence, ultimately making it a much safer home for her to live in. The scope of work featured repairs and renovations to the front room, dining room, bathroom, kitchen, stairwell, basement and exterior.
The largest and most dynamic mixed-use development is coming to Romania's second largest city, Iasi.
