Protecting Childhood in Moldova

A happy childhood begins with family.

In 2001, we pioneered a new approach to child protection by working in the private sector to give children the chance of family. Today, our national-level work is driven by years of experience in supporting youth aging out of residential care and helping vulnerable kids and families thrive.
