Bethesda Home
Reverend Irma Molnar and her husband, Professor Molnar, once dreamt of a refuge for the lost children who lived in the remote regions west of the Carpathian Mountains in Romania, a region commonly known as Transylvania. After more than two years of planning and struggle, the Molnars' distant vision became a reality. In December of 1993, in a little village called Zsobok, the Bethesda Home orphanage was completed. When the doors of the Bethesda Home were opened, so were the homes and hearts of Zsobok’s residents to the neediest children in the area. Unlike Romania’s state-run orphanages, which segregate their residents from much of society, the children of the Bethesda Home are integrated into the church and community. Kidstown International was created to keep this dream alive and funds have been and will continue to be sent to help the children of the Bethesda Home. Much progress has been made in Zsobok. Lives have been changed and a community transformed. Kidstown International seeks to better the lives of Romania’s most vulnerable citizens-its children.
