Educate young Moldovans in personal health

Dear Supporter,

Due to Covid-19 schools and children’s Centres have been closed since March so the Y-Peer work could not proceed. 

However Ora, our partner in Moldova who also supports Y- Peer Moldova, helped poor children from Esther House (some of them participate in Y Peer workshops) to  distribute  social packages ( food, hygiene products, disinfectant ) to even poorer families.

Like the family of Igor. Igor and his two sisters live with their mother. The mother lost her job and because of quarantine, she couldn’t get a job even as a seasonal land worker because no one worked during quarantine. The family was in a very desperate position. They received food from  and clothes for the children.

The social packages helped many families survive during the lockdown.

Moreover it gave children  the opportunity to learn to care for more vulnerable people than themselves.

With your help we are changing the lives of vulnerable children in Moldova.

Thank you for your kind support

Dear Supporter,

Thanks to your support we are helping to open the minds of young people in Moldova.

Peer to Peer programme is so effective because it helps young people to learn about key problems they are facing but also it gives them a chance to discuss and communicate problems they are experiencing.

There are still stereotypes on these issues so having a way of expressing their concerns with other young people close to their age is so important that’s why the Y Peer programme is so successful.

It is wonderful to see young people empowering each other.

Y-PEER works with and for young people between the ages of 13 and 24 to advance and educate them on sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR). Annually the network educates more than 10,000 young people in need, being active in over 25 schools, with 16 teams of peer educators across the country and over 300 actively involved peer to peer educators. This community education has helped the youth to defend against HIV, STIs, unwanted pregnancy and domestic violence.

The saying goes that if you give a man a fish, you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime. In other words it is better to give people the tools to help themselves, than to make them dependent on short-term external help.

Thank you so much for supporting this amazing programme.

Please support ChildAid during the Little by Little Campaign.
