Caritas Czech Republic renovates sanitary facilities in 4 schools across Moldova

In Moldova, many schools continue to face significant sanitation challenges due to outdated sanitary infrastructure. An insufficient number of sanitary facilities for the growing number of students, ageing sewerage networks, and the lack of accessible toilets for persons with disabilities affect the quality of the learning environment and the well-being of children. Access to safe, functional and inclusive sanitation facilities is essential for students' health, dignity and full participation in education. To help address these challenges, Caritas Czech Republic in Moldova, with the support of the European Union, is implementing a project to rehabilitate sanitary facilities in four educational institutions across the country in 2026. Construction works began in July and are expected to be completed by September, providing improved learning conditions for nearly 1,400 students and school staff.

During these periods, many of us impatiently wait for rain and make sure to stay hydrated. But can you imagine coping with extreme heat without access to water? Today, more than 2 billion people worldwide lack access to a safe source of drinking water. In some places, prolonged droughts and the impacts of climate change are the main causes. Elsewhere, armed conflicts further worsen the situation by destroying infrastructure and disrupting water supplies.
