Moldova: kindergarten in Hîncești fully renovated and energy-efficient with the EU support

On 21 November, the fully renovated and energy-efficient Kindergarten No. 1 “Albinuța” was officially inaugurated in Hîncești, Moldova. 

The event brought together the local community, authorities, and international partners, marking the transformation of the institution into a modern, safe, and energy-efficient space.

The renovation works included thermal insulation of the building, roof rehabilitation, replacement of flooring, complete modernisation of the heating system with 67 new radiators, and the landscaping of the surrounding area. 

“We succeeded in creating a space that offers children optimal conditions for learning and play, and provides teachers with a comfortable and motivating work environment,” said Alexandru Botnari, Mayor of Hîncești Municipality, during the inauguration event.

According to local authorities, these interventions directly contribute to reducing energy losses, lowering monthly utility costs, and creating a healthy and comfortable environment for the approximately 160 children and 22 staff members of the kindergarten.

The renovation and energy-efficiency measures amounted to nearly 5.6 million MDL, of which approximately 3.9 million MDL represents the grant provided by the European Union under the ‘EU4Moldova Resilience – Secure State, Resilient Communities’ project, implemented by Solidarity Fund PL in Moldova.
