Moldova

We are helping people to create better conditions and job opportunities right where they live. We are providing development support to people in five areas: civil society and good governance; emergency response and recovery; social inclusion and protection; rural development, livelihood & sustainability; human rights and media literacy. 

We support civil society and NGOs in Moldova's regions through projects focused on youth, older people, local authorities, and local communities. We also contribute to the inclusion of people with disabilities in society.

Our projects empower communities to participate in decision-making processes, strengthen civil society's relationships with public authorities and help local farmers and small entrepreneurs to build sustainable businesses.

One of our primary goals is to provide long-term support to Ukrainian refugees and Moldovan families who are providing shelter to people who were forced from Ukraine due to Russia's invasion of the country.

Our help in Moldova since 2003

We have been working to help people in Moldova since 2003. Over the past 21 years, we have touched the lives of countless individuals and communities and implemented projects and initiatives in areas such as education, human rights, social inclusion, and economic empowerment.

Moldova declared its independence in 1991, during the collapse of the Soviet Union. It has shifted from industrial and agricultural production to the service sector, yet poverty persists for many Moldovans. After Ukraine, Georgia, and Kosovo, Moldova is Europe's fourth lowest-income country. The rate of emigration from the country is one of the highest in the world. In 2020, almost 30 % of the Moldovan population lived abroad. After Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, the country endured a wave of migration and inflation.
