(status end 2007)

In 2007, 48 social institutions, including boarding schools, hospitals for children, and NGOs that work daily with children and elderly people, will benefit of 60’000 kg of Swiss milk powder, distributed in spring and autumn.  The shortage of milk is a common issue for most social institutions in Moldova. This problem continues to persist due to the limited budget resources received by these institutions from the state.

Since 2001 SDC has financed the distribution of Swiss milk powder to social institutions in Moldova. Within 6 years were distributed approx. 290 tons of milk powder to more than 150 social institutions all over the country.

This program is implemented in strong cooperation with the Ministry of Health, Ministry of Social Protection, Family and Child, Ministry of Education and Youth, and the State Agency for Humanitarian Aid.
