Moldova Aid Project is a UK charity which sends humanitarian
aid to a children's hospital and an orphanage in Moldova; a former
Soviet
state situated between Romania and the Ukraine.
We have sent four lorries full of aid since 1997. We are currently
working towards sending our fifth lorry and building links between
a Moldovan hospital and one in the
UK.
Among our achievements so far, we have:
Replaced the mattresses in several wards of Moldova's main children's
hospital.
Provided height adjustable beds, cots and computers for the hospital.
Enabled disabled girls at the orphanage to learn craft skills
and sell some of their work.
Clothed needy members of the public, including children who were
previously unable to attend school.
Our overheads are very small, all workers are volunteers and administration
is kept to a minimum. Our main expense is funding lorries to carry
the aid, this costs around £2,500 per trip ($3,600 / €4,100).
