Moldova

Caritas Czech Republic has been operating in Moldova since 2004. We are dedicated to developing social and health services, and efficient waste management. In the wake of the Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2022, we have expanded our work to include humanitarian aid to provide for the basic needs of Ukrainian refugees.

Humanitarian aid for Ukrainian refugees

From the first days of the war, we have been involved in helping refugees from Ukraine. We have equipped 12 refugee accommodation centres and increased medical and psychosocial services availability. We have also supported displaced Ukrainians through direct financial support, enabling long-term financial self-sufficiency and helping them rebuild a decent life.

Development of social and healthcare services

We have opened 11 home care centres in Moldova. Thanks to the development of telemedicine, we are increasing access to healthcare, especially in remote regions. We have also trained over 5,000 doctors, nurses and social workers. We are involved in preparing legislative changes to introduce an efficient home care and social services model in the country.

Efficient waste management

Moldova's rural regions still need help with illegal landfills and the need for an effective waste management system. We are helping local institutions with functional and sustainable waste management.
