Galicea Mare commune in Dolj feeds 120 underprivileged children to keep them in school

A social canteen in Galicea Mare, Dolj, is providing daily meals for 120 underprivileged children to encourage school attendance. The canteen, established by the "Sopta Florilor" Association and the local mayor's office with corporate sponsorship, operates with a volunteer cook. It aims to combat school dropout rates by ensuring children receive a nutritious meal. The project, which began in late May 2026, is funded until the end of the school year. Efforts are underway to secure funding for summer operations and potentially expand to other communities.
