We invite you to watch a few moments from the backpack distribution event held in Budești commune, where YMCA Moldova was alongside the Budești City Hall, educational institutions and other beneficiary social institutions in the locality.

The event brought together community representatives, teachers, children and families, in an atmosphere of joy and solidarity. For the beneficiaries, the school bags and backpacks received represent not only practical support, but also encouragement at the beginning of a new school year.

The school bags and backpacks were provided through the “HP-YMCA Initiative for Rural Education” project, implemented by YMCA Moldova in partnership with HP Inc. and with the support of the DAAC Hermes Group of Companies. Through this collaboration, resources reach closer to communities and children who need support in their educational journey.

The initiative is part of a national program through which over 18,000 school bags and backpacks reach students throughout the Republic of Moldova. Each backpack provided means a step towards a more optimistic start to the school year, with more confidence, motivation and opportunities for children.

Through such actions, we want to contribute to supporting education and strengthening local communities, so that every child feels encouraged and supported to continue their path towards knowledge and development.
