Moldova: Largest kindergarten in Gagauzia renovated with EU support

Nearly 300 children and 36 teaching staff now benefit from a modern, safe and energy-efficient educational environment following extensive renovation works carried out at the largest early childhood education institution in ATU Gagauzia.

Kindergarten No. 8 ‘Andrieș’ in Ceadîr-Lunga was renovated as part of the project ‘EU4Moldova Resilient: Secure State, Strong Communities’, funded by the European Union and implemented by Solidarity Fund PL in Moldova. 

The total budget of the works amounted to approximately 6 million MDL, of which around 4 million MDL were allocated by the EU.

The works included thermal insulation of the building, modernisation of the internal heating system, and installation of photovoltaic panels with a capacity of 30 kW. 

In addition, a storage room for food products was renovated, and the surrounding area of the kindergarten was fully upgraded.

“These are undoubtedly the most extensive renovation works ever carried out in this institution. We are talking about the largest kindergarten in ATU Gagauzia, with a large territory and several buildings. Now, thanks to our external partners, especially the European Union, we can say that we are offering our children a warm, safe and welcoming place,” said Mihail Stamov, Deputy Mayor of Ceadîr-Lunga.

The inauguration event was also attended by the European Union Ambassador to the Republic of Moldova, Iwona Piórko, who highlighted the tangible impact of EU investments in local communities.
