In 2008, Habitat for Humanity launched a project called Habitat Romanes. The project included the building of houses for Roma families in Oradea (North-West of the country) who were living in dire conditions, using Habitat techniques and methods. The actual work for building the houses was undertaken by volunteers (some of them VIPs) and by the people who were going to live in the houses themselves. [1]
