Move a family

MOLDOVA | Shelter
Initial position

The "Move a Family" project enables poor families to resettle from the countryside to near the city and thus from vegetation to life. AVC buys and renovates vacant homes to give families future prospects. Children can go to school again, parents find it easier to find work.

Commitment

AVC looks out for families who suffer particularly from isolation and poverty and enables them to “move into life”. In Sarata-Galbena, about an hour southwest of the capital Chisinau, AVC is acquiring land with vacant houses. Together with the families, the houses are renovated and the land is prepared for the cultivation of fruit, vegetables and animal husbandry.

CHALLENGES
In many places, the state has also closed all schools for reasons of economy. As a result, the children have no prospect of schooling and the downward spiral begins to turn downwards early in their lives.
OBJECTIVES
Families from poor backgrounds are reconnected to civilization and have the opportunity to live in dignity. The families are cared for with resettlement and integration and supported in finding work. Children can go to school and get new perspectives for the future. Education is their chance to escape poverty.
