The Fiți Buni Association
Homes for families in need
Going on
Houses renovated, rebuilt or bought for families living in homes about to collapse. The church or the association buys the materials, volunteers do the work, and the appeals go out on Facebook.
These are the years from 2020 on — since the campaigns have also been run through the Fiți Buni Association, whose president is Nicoleta Iagăru — and the years in which her name appears in the campaign’s sources. The association calls her husband, Father Ion Iagăru, the initiator of its projects; the campaign’s whole history, from the first edition, with its photographs and press, is on his site.

The Fiți Buni Association answered a mother’s appeal: a new bathroom, so that her little girl, who had beaten leukaemia, could come home before school started. Floor and wall tiles, sanitary fittings, a water heater and an electric radiator were asked for.
2021
On 6 April Father Ion set out to move the family from Sprâncenata, whose mud-brick house was about to collapse, into a new home by Easter; two weeks later, through the Fiți Buni Association, the house was bought. In December, the campaign to renovate the house in Pârșcoveni where a schoolgirl is raising her five brothers and sisters had raised 32,730 lei, 54.5% of the sum needed.
