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.

How is Caritas supporting the development of Moldova?

Caritas Czech Republic has been working in Moldova since 2004 and helped to carry out more than 20 projects during those 17 years. In Moldova, we focus mainly on the sector of social services and its affiliated, in current times very burdened sphere of medical care. Moldova is both economically and politically specific country. We've talked with Caritas' manager for Moldova, Stanislav Butorin, about its specificities and beauties.

Caritas is raising awareness about diabetes in Moldova and helps people suffering from the disease

In Moldova, about 60,000 people suffer from type 2 diabetes. However, according to local doctors, the number might be much higher, even double. Due to the absence of a registry for diabetics in Moldova, a large proportion of potentially affected people do not receive any help. Caritas Czech Republic is trying to change that. We raise awareness about diabetes in the country and provide medical services to patients with the disease.

International Women's Day is a reason for big celebrations in Moldova. On this day, women are celebrated and receive gifts, but for most of the year they still face unequal conditions. However, the situation is gradually improving. In the last election, for example, Moldova voted for its first-ever woman president.
