Care Reform in Moldova

Prior to 2000, Moldova had over 17,000+ children living in large residential institutions – sometimes referred to as orphanages. For the past twenty years, the Government of Moldova, supported by civil society, faith community, international organizations and donors has been working together to prevent family separation and reform the care system. Yet, still far too many children are growing up in institutions and not in families. Unfortunately, the number of at-risk children and children separated from their parents is on the rise in Moldova.
