Guided by the Holy Scriptures: "He who has two coats, let him share with him who has none; and he who has food, let him do likewise" (Luke 3:11), the Caritas Moldova Charity Foundation team, with the financial support of NORAD and Caritas Norge, visited the village of Bugeac in the Gagauz Autonomy to support the local community by distributing food and pharmaceutical vouchers to the most vulnerable people. This initiative is part of the humanitarian assistance programme, aimed at improving living conditions for mothers with three or more children, people with disabilities and those on low incomes.

During the visit, our team interacted directly with people in need, offering not only material support but also encouragement and moral support. Beneficiaries included mothers raising their children alone, people with disabilities facing daily difficulties, and low-income residents struggling to provide for their basic needs, including Ukrainian refugees.

The vouchers distributed are designed to facilitate access to food and medicine, thus helping to improve the living conditions of those most in need. Each person received two vouchers worth 250 lei, which can be used in partner shops, covering a wide range of essential products.

We are grateful to our partners NORAD and Caritas Norge for supporting the most vulnerable members of the community in Comrat, including Ukrainian refugees, and for strengthening solidarity and social inclusion in the Gagauz Autonomy.
