EU Focusing on Sustainable Biomass Heat in Moldova


Via European Union External Action

"80 modern biomass heating plants coupled with 21 solar collectors installed in schools, kindergartens, and community centres; 300 biomass-fired boilers provided at subsidised prices to households and microenterprises; seven public-private partnerships set to supply bioenergy” – these are just some of the expected results of the Energy and Biomass Project II launched today at a public event conducted in the school in Varnita village, Anenii Noi District, which is one of the 144 beneficiary institutions of the Project first phase (2011-2014). 

ChildAid welcomes this news with great happiness. ChildAid has worked in Moldova since 2000 and seeks to create opportunities for children living with disabilities, either though free therapies for the poorest families, social welfare support or educational and social inclusion.

Our principle two partners are in the capital, Chisinau - Children's Health Centre and Speranta.

We are even more delighted this news coincides with #WorldBookDay. To celebrate this occasion we are reminding people of Tony Hawks whose book Playing The Moldovans At Tennis was written after he visited the country. 

As a proud supporter of ChildAid, proceeds from the book will be donated directly towards the Tony Hawks Children's Health Centre
