Căprești placement center: 50 beneficiaries have a renovated space
Public solidarity made it possible to renovate the activity center for residents of the care home in Căprești village, Florești district. After a fire destroyed one of the center's buildings, the community rallied; following a public appeal and a report by Moldova 1, over 600,000 lei was raised. Fifty residents—elderly individuals with serious health issues—can once again enjoy a renovated space adapted to their needs.
In October 2025, a severe fire destroyed the building where daily activities were held for the elderly residents of the Căprești Center. The community rallied to help.
"I acted on my own initiative as a volunteer, collaborating with the school—students, teachers, and class masters—with everyone donating whatever they could. Then, I reached out to local businesses, knowing they are responsive and supportive."
Today, the building has been renovated and is ready to welcome the beneficiaries back. The space has been refurbished so they can resume their activities in a safe and comfortable environment.
"People across Moldova were incredibly responsive; over the course of six months, we raised 630,000 lei. They helped us and we thank them all," said Vera Crivorucica, director of the Căprești Center.
"It is important to maintain these services, renovate them, and create better conditions for the beneficiaries. There is a real need; we have elderly people and individuals with disabilities in our communities who—unfortunately—are sometimes forgotten by their families, by children who have gone abroad," stated Vasile Cușca, State Secretary at the Ministry of Labor and Social Protection.
Fifty elderly individuals, some with serious health issues, are the beneficiaries of the Căprești care center.
