More4 News report on child abandonment in Moldova
27th October 2007 - A special report on More4 News has highlighted the plight of abandoned children in Moldova. EveryChild’s Moldova Country Director, Stela Grigoras, in an interview for the report, explained that parents desperate to earn money to support their families often leave the country, which is Europe’s poorest, in the hope of finding better paid jobs elsewhere.

In Moldova, EveryChild supports vulnerable families and develops family-based alternatives to institutional care like foster care. We also provide day-care facilities for children with disabilities which provide treatment, rehabilitation and much needed respite for families. In Moldova, where 80% of the population live below the poverty line, EveryChild has helped to reduce the number of children entering institutional care by a third in three major regions.
