Moldova — Protecting Children Left Behind

Over a million Moldovans have left their country, seeking work abroad. In their wake, countless children remain, often alone, facing heightened risks of neglect, exploitation, and trafficking.

Terre des hommes implements programs to support these communities, helping families provide safe and nurturing environments for their children. By strengthening local networks and promoting proper living conditions, Tdh works to prevent abuse and protect the most vulnerable.

Amid the uncertainty created by migration, these interventions offer stability and care, reminding us that childhood depends not only on presence, but on protection, guidance, and the quiet attention of those who remain.
