Empowering Moldovan Youth

Yesterday morning we were doing volunteer work in return for a venue where we'll be organizing a event later this month.

More on the event will be announced soon!

Did you know that there are currently 7.000 children living in orphanages and institutions in Moldova?

These kids do not get the guidance they need, which is why a good practical education is even more important. Support Empowering Moldovan Youth and give Moldovan youth the chances they deserve. Does not everyone have the right to a bright future?

A recent study by Unicef shows that 1 out of 5 children in Moldova lives without at least one of their parents due to labour migration. This is worst in the rural areas, where the poverty rate for families with multiple children reaches 35%. Often, children are left without a caretaker and their chances for a bright future are slim.

The Other Hundred is a non-profit photo-book that presents stories from all over the world that are usually ignored by the media.

This is their coverage of the Moldovan children.
