Story

Our initial team arrived 11 March and spent 5 days doing their initial needs assessment. One week later they had created a unique and critical distribution centre in Chisenau that does more than just provide aid.

Our friends at 'Moldova for Peace' are referring Ukrainian people who are living in Moldovan homes to us so they can collect food and hygiene items from a 'shop' we call our Dignity Market. Each family has a budget of points they can 'spend' so that they can collect for free the food and hygiene items they want.

It's an important contribution to what they need and it is also supporting the generous Moldovans who have welcomed them in. Most important of all, people get a choice, experience a bit of normality and deal with volunteers who really care.

It is not charity - it is dignity.

With your help, we can serve over 1,000 Ukrainians every week in this way. And at the same time, we are supporting the wonderful Moldovan people.
