Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.

Many of you may never have even heard of Moldova! A quick check on Google tells us that it is sandwiched between Romania and Ukraine, having emerged as an independent republic following the collapse of the USSR in 1991. Unfortunately the price of national freedom has been economic collapse and massive social problems. Since independence Moldova's economy has shrunk by 3.5% each year. Two thirds of Moldovan's live off less that $4 a day and many in Dancu live below the international poverty line of $1.25 a day.

Link Romania works with a variety of nationals on a range of projects throughout Eastern Europe. It's aim is to combat poverty and give humanitarian aid and has special concern for the most disadvantaged, with a vision that one day every person in Eastern Europe will have a safe environment to live in and access to healthcare, human rights, employment and education.

Link Romania is uniquely placed to deliver help to these areas. It it has a proven track record and demonstrates care and understanding as well as aiming to provide practical, susatainable and financial help to those most in need.
