In one of the European Union’s poorest countries, Valeriu Nicolae hopes to reform the damage done to the most vulnerable demographic: children. Nicolae's humanitarian organization, Casa Buna, helps young Romanians receive basic necessities and education. The organization helps 315 children, giving them things like toothbrushes, clothing and school supplies on the condition that they stay in school. Nicolae has long been an advocate to aid poor children in order to prevent them from dropping out of school and turning to substance abuse. His goal is to bring about greater social change.
