Children’s Settlement of Saint Hierarch Leontius is a social service which provides a stable environment and good integrated services to the children enrolled in this institution, for reintegrating them in the family, or, as needed, for social-professional reintegration and preparation for independent life. The purpose of the Settlement is to temporary – or as long as necessary – replace the parental responsibilities when the circumstances do not allow the reintegration of the child in the natural or in the extended family. The target group of the social service consists of disadvantaged children (orphans, with no material means of living, as well as children coming from disorganised families) aged from 3–18, and living in Suceava county.
