The Pentru Voi Fundatia (For You Foundation) is a private, non-governmental organisation dedicated to improving the quality of life for adults with intellectual disabilities in Timisoara, a city in western Romania. It is based on a model of sustainable inter-disciplinary community development which seeks to improve the general welfare of the community while also providing services to a specific vulnerable population. The Pentru Voi Bakery is one of many inter-disciplinary initiatives, providing real employment for mentally handicapped adults and a valued service for a local community. At the same time it has served to help break down continuing the stigma attached to mental handicap.
