Community care for older people: Knowledge sharing workshop

They offer a variety of services that provide vulnerable older people an active and positive support system. I learnt a lot from this course, and am definitely taking some best practice learning back with me for our programmes in Moldova.

Read more about our projects with older people in Moldova.

Our work in Moldova began in 2000 through our partner Second Breath and the HelpAge office in Chisinau was set up in 2005. We have a network of 15 organisations involved in our work and over 300 volunteers. We also work with 15 older people's groups and across 15 project sites in Moldova.

Older people in Moldova face many challenges and are extremely vulnerable due to inadequate social security, the high prices of medicines and limited access to quality healthcare.

Annually we support over 1,600 older people directly through home-visiting and over 8,000 indirectly who are involved in our work by taking part in information sessions, community activities, social events and campaigns
