Stiftung e

The Swiss Foundation for Organs in Romania (SSOR) provides assistance by encouraging individuals to help themselves. Young people will be trained as craftsmen following Swiss standards and paid for by the Foundation. The "niche professions" organ construction and artistic carpentry have been selected on purpose since they are in particular demand for the restoration and preservation of historical objects in the country and for the manufacture of quality goods that can be exported. The usual apprenticeship lasting several years like in Western Europe and formerly also practiced in Romania is hardly known in the country today. Consequently the Foundation's intent is to also aid in the revival of a sustainable middle class.
