Family Home Project: Chisinau, Moldova
AIUTO BIMBI Charity is working to achieve a great goal: to build a Family Home in Moldova, near Chisinau, to welcome orphan and needy children, small creatures abandoned to their fate.
Moldova is the poorest country in Europe, just a 1-hour flight from Rome or Milan, where the tragedy of street children is made even harder by harsh winters. Chisinau is only 20 kilometers from the war, a place where we should bring some of our love and presence.
HELP US MAKE THIS DREAM COME TRUE
Every donation, even a small one, brings us closer to creating the Family Home.

The Situation in Moldova
Children in Moldovan orphanages are on the brink of survival. According to the International Organization for Migration, migration affects a quarter of the working-age population of Moldova.
Thousands of children too young to live alone are raised by grandparents, who are often too old for this commitment. Thousands more children are placed in dilapidated orphanages, originally built to house orphans of World War II.
The "Internat", as childhood institutions are called, are often in poor condition, where minors live in traumatic conditions. At sixteen, many young people leave institutions without any support, ending up on the streets.
Our Commitment
We are a small, young humanitarian and non-profit Association, and our Mission is certainly not easy, because we lack economic means and subsistence, and we carry on with our modest strength, together with goodwill and dedication.
Our great goal is to raise awareness about street children and to collect help for the cause of these poor children. The road is long and winding, but we are tenacious and determined and will continue undaunted until we achieve our goal.
The Association also provides consulting and aid to other non-profit Associations and Organizations that pursue charitable, humanitarian and socially significant purposes.

"Arrivederci"
Directed by Moldovan filmmaker Valeriu Jereghi
Original language with Italian subtitles
A docudrama telling the story of two children left alone in Moldova by their mother, forced to emigrate to Italy. A story that reflects the reality of many other Eastern European countries and moves emigrants and audiences alike.
Film awarded with the Grand Prix at the Eurasian Forum in Moscow in 2008, requested and screened by the European Parliament, which welcomed and greatly appreciated its high social content. The film's harsh realism is also a denunciation of the serious degradation of Moldovan rural society.
