In Chisinau was inaugurated the first Center that will host children in vulnerable situations such as: vagabondage, domestic violence or adolescents fleeing from home for various reasons. The institution is in Rascani sector of the capital and has the capacity to accommodate about 15 beneficiaries. According to city hall officials, children will benefit from a warm lunch, clothing and medical or psychological assistance.

The center will be active 7 days a week, but children will be able to come in from 08:00 until 24:00. Thus, beneficiaries will not be able to whisper here. The institution is equipped with a gym, a kitchen, but also a few beds. The directors say they have already identified six beneficiaries. 

"Children will receive social assistance, educational services, they will do sports, they will cook here to eat them. They already communicate with us, already tell us certain secrets", said Lucia Caciuc, interim director of DMPDC.

Attending the event, the People's Rights Advocate says that children will become more open and able to communicate in this center. 

"We have to teach them to develop their communication skills, to show them something else, because they need care, love and center, I hope that is exactly what they will offer, legal protection, social protection", said Maia Banarescu, People's Advocate for Children's Rights.
