Plan International Moldova

Plan International works together with children, young people, supporters, and partners to strive for a just world, where we are all equal. 

Since March 2022 we’ve worked in the Republic of Moldova to deliver immediate humanitarian aid to children and their families affected by the conflict in Ukraine.   

As of December 2024, 123,000 refugees from Ukraine are in Moldova, representing 4% of its total population. Nearly 81% of the total refugee population are women and children.

Since the beginning of the response, we have reached 276,000 participants in Moldova, including 54,000 girls and 50,000 boys. In total, we have reached more than 5,000 refugees from Ukraine in Moldova.

We’ve partnered with 12 civil society organisations and local/national NGOs to support their capacity to keep children safe and provide them with quality education. Through our partners, we are implementing programmes across Moldova, with a focus on the Northern and Southern regions and the municipality of Chisinau.   

We support the most vulnerable refugee children with food and hygiene products to address their basic needs and help them prepare for winter. We also support them to access play, education, mental health and psychosocial support, legal services, and other social and emotional support services.  

Beyond the direct life-saving humanitarian support we provide, we continue working with and through local organisations to support children’s rights and equality for girls in the Republic of Moldova. 

Our work in Moldova is part of a regional response to the Ukraine crisis which also includes programmes in Poland, Ukraine and Romania.
