Elena Ghiba-Birta in Arad, Romania

Elena Ghiba-Birta (1801–1864) was an important protector of Romanian education in the west part of the country. She was born in BichiÅŸ (Bekes), her mother being born in Ineu. At just 10 years old she became an orphan, going to live with her relatives in Pâncota. When she got married, she moved to Arad. After only a few years she became a widow, but she kept the name Birta, from her marriage.
In 1830, she started working for Emanoil Gogher, a job she kept for 33 years later. At his death, she inherited his wealth.
Elena Ghiba-Birta wrote her testament one year before her death, through which she made different donations. One of them was of 48,000 florins, for a foundation in her name. Out of that 12 scholarships were given annually, to students with less income, but deserving. Her name will always be remembered as a person whom helped students who were unable to pay for their studies. The National College "Elena Ghiba-Birta" which bears her name today, stands opposite her bust.
