History

It all started in 1992, when T Thomas challenged Oti about what the Providence community was doing for the Rroma children on the streets in the Ferentari district of Bucharest. What began as a Sunday morning program was extended to a day center and it soon evolved into a literacy class when it was realized that most of the children could neither read or write and had never been to school before.. At that time, the education system simply didn't recognize that an illiteracy problem existed. Anybody who failed to make it to school at the right age (7 years old back then, subsequently changed to 6) or within the following 2 years had nowhere to go: no special projects, no adult literacy classes, and no educational recovery programs. After a few years the literacy class was registered as a primary school and soon Fundatia Providenta provided the institutional form which now is the Ruth School. And so, the Ruth School began... In addition to the educational opportunities offered by the Ruth School, there was more that attracted students to Project Ruth. Due to poverty, many children started to attend the school simply because of the hot meal offered by the foundation. Noticing all these things, The Ruth School organized the following services for their target group: an educational program based on the MECT curriculum, programs of education, a hot meal at the school and basic medical care as well as hygiene programs. Achievements

In 1994 the Ruth School was awarded accreditation by the Educational Department for grades 1-4. They later received the accreditation for grades 5-8 in 1999. In 2010, the Ruth School received it's final accreditation. Today, there are 175 students registered. 70% of the students who graduated from Ruth School continued their studies in Pre-university education program or in a school of arts and crafts in Bucharest. Most of these graduates got a passing grade on their final exams at the end of 8th grade. So far, the Ruth School has educated and taken care of more than 2000 students during the last 16 years from it’s foundation.
