The HEKS/EPER Romania Foundation was founded by HEKS/EPER (Hilfswerk der Evangelischen Kirchen Schweiz) – the Aid Foundation for Protestant Churches in Switzerland.

HEKS/EPER Switzerland has been present in Romania since 1977, when it undertook a series of humanitarian actions in support of the earthquake victims. Din 1989 și până în prezent, HEKS/EPER și-a continuat activitatea prin susținerea constantă a comunităților din țara noastră. At the beginning, the HEKS/EPER program in Romania was focused on humanitarian aid (1990-1991), then on rural development (1992-2007) and the development of social services (1990-present).

The opening of a regional office in Cluj-Napoca marks a new stage and confirms the commitment of HEKS/EPER in Romania.
