NGO

The VADON („Wilderness”) Association was founded in the autumn of 2012 with the aim of designing and implementing projects based on natural values. Covasna County (Transylvania – Romania) and Szeklerland are extremely rich in natural values ​​and their intelligent use can contribute significantly to raising public awareness and economic development of the region. Clean air, clear water, rich forests, wildlife, thousands of mineral water springs, starry sky, flowering meadows, the Szekler hospitality, the warm atmosphere of their homes - all are values ​​that few can be proud of and which are worth building the future on. Our mission is to help you get to know this beautiful area so rich in history, culture and natural values ​– Szeklerland.

We are trying to make people more aware of environmental issues by organizing conferences and other events related to ecology. Our aim is to help people in our region understand how ecological and sociological problems interact. Also, we wish to demonstrate how the civil society can contribute to solving these problems.

The Community Foundation Háromszék was established in 2010 through a local initiative, an ARC (Association for Community Relations) and Environmental Partnership Foundation coordinated through a nationwide program. It has eleven founders: intellectuals, entrepreneurs and civil society organisation representatives all living in the Covasna county. Similar organisations are based in Cluj Napoca, Odorheiu Secuiesc and Alba Iulia, and other three foundations are currently being established in Constanta, Iasi and Cristuru Secuiesc. The last one is a sub-unit of the Odorheiu Secuiesc ‘s Community Foundation, but with its own image. Community Foundations are present in each part of the world. Their task is the financial management and the targeted use of local resources for the benefit of the community. Community Foundations are the highest level instruments of community development. The mission of the Community Foundation Háromszék is to make local people’s life better by mobilising and developing local resources in order to support local and regional initiatives of the community.
