Noteworthy:

The Social Reintegration Centres cover the deficit of specialized social services provided to both: young people who have been brought up and educated within residential system, as well as women and children at risk or in crisis situation, or pregnant women inclined to abandon their children. Via these nine centres, Better Op- portunities for Youth and Women Project aims at reducing the number of vulnerable persons subject to risk of social marginal- ization, physical and psychological abuse or exploitation.

This youth lacks basic social and professional integration of their independent life skills; they do not know beneficiaries. Whenever reaching a specific how to orient themselves on the labour force market due to a lack of basic skills or because of not knowing how to harness their abilities, they have no possibility of ensuring themselves with a place to live due to a lack of subsistence means; they have no one to ask help from; they have no families or they do not wish to return to their own families or communities. Currently, the social protection system does not meet the needs of this group. The existing services simply treat separately certain groups that eventually could cover the youth, for instance, the orphans. This context does not provide for a variety of social services that might allow the subsequent integration of youth in the society.

Maternal Centres provide services for mothers with children at risk or in crisis situation, for women – victims of domestic violence or victims of human beings trafficking after initial rehabilitation period. The crisis situation can be qualified under Before becoming ARIADNA Maternal Centre, this place a large range of events: starting with the was an abandoned wing of a assistance granted at home in case when kindergarten from Drochia. temporary support is needed for over- coming the situation (lack of subsistence means, conflict in the family, problems with children care) up to situations when the woman is left in the street as a result of conflicts in the family or no home. Maternal Centres provide rehabilitation services also to victims of human trafficking, offering them the possibility of gradually reintegrating into the community, support for a longer period of time and assistance for establishing relations with social and professional environment. The centres shall also provide assistance for beneficiaries’ employment on labor market, a fact that will serve as basis for their subsequent autonomy.

Born in Ribnita, he had no parents (his father died in 1994 and his mother in 1997). He has two younger sisters: one is 16 years old and the other one is 11 years old. After his parents died, the Guardianship Body provided the custody for the young orphans left without parental care to a relatives’ family located in Ungheni.

M. was in despair and she was intending to leave her child, basing her decision on the fact that she had no one to help and support her and she was really afraid that she would not be able to meet her child’s needs. The Centre offered her practical advice and counselling, psychological assistance in the field of child abandon prevention. After giving birth to the child and still staying in the centre, M. got really attached to her baby. At the beginning she learned how to live independently, to manage the money she was receiving for food and to take care of the child. After 6 months of placement in the centre, M. rented a room – the Maternal Centre paid the rent for the first three months. The woman renting out the room for M. is an old lady who does not work so she agreed to stay with the young child. Thus M. was able to obtain a job staying away from home just for several hours. After her living, the “Ariadna” Centre addressed the mayor and obtained a financial assistance.

In Soroca, there was built a workshop for making items from wood and metal, which was offering 14 new working places for the beneficiaries from the Social Reintegra- tion Centre “Dacia”.
