2. Brashov
Many of us remember the heart-breaking images of Romania’s orphanages after the fall of the Ceausescu regime in 1989. A sad legacy from those days is the number of young street people who find their way onto Romania’s city streets.

3. Bucharest

|
13. Madi-West Nile

Led by a paraplegic, Pastor Babukaji Adhikari, along with his wife, Goma and their son, Bikash, it is very much a church for the marginalised. Up to 150 people attend the Saturday services and fellowship groups, many of whom would be considered the outcasts of society – wheelchair users, leprosy sufferers, women who have been abandoned by their husbands, the blind, the poor. |

20. UDP, Nairobi
