Moldova

The country of Moldova is located in Eastern Europe between Romanian and Ukraine. A former Soviet republic, Moldova gained its independence in 1991 with the dissolution of the Soviet Union. The official language of Moldova is Romanian. Moldova’s economy is the poorest in Europe and relies heavily on agriculture. Many grandparents are raising their grandchildren as the middle generation seek employment opportunities outside the country.

Convoy of Hope has been involved in many communities over the years. Through Children’s Feeding, Agriculture, and Women’s Empowerment programs, communities in Moldova are being transformed through the local church. Field Teams that serve in the country will have the opportunity to work closely with local churches to meet needs unique to their community such as updating kitchens, helping with water access, sanitation and hygiene, agricultural programs, or building playgrounds for children in the communities.

Field Teams partner with the local church to build the capacity of programs in their community. Building projects such as kitchen remodelling, toilet or outhouse construction, agriculture related buildings such as fences and greenhouses, or the construction of a playground for the children in the community will be available. There will also be plenty of opportunity to interact with children and young people, serve the local people, and build relationships with the local church. There will be lots of activity available for every team member, regardless of skill level.

With building projects, raising more funds allows for greater possibilities. We work closely with our Moldovan team to determine the specific projects your team will take part in and will share with you at least 60 days prior to your trip.
