The project aims to raise awareness of the vulnerability of migrants’ families among policy makers and service providers at all levels, increase the capacity of civil society and state authorities to provide them with effective support, and enhance intergenerational links between older carers and children. The project collects direct evidence on the specific characteristics and needs of migrants’ families headed by older people, and particularly of multigenerational households, in 10 regions of Moldova. A network of older volunteers conduct community outreach activities through mini-grants to support vulnerable multigenerational households with older carers.

- To protect the rights of migrants’ families in Moldova by strengthening the capacity of older citizens, NGOs and state authorities to support multigenerational households.
- To improve awareness of vulnerability of migrants’ families among policy makers and service providers at all levels.

- The project managed to break the stereotypes of migration as always being a source of enrichment of the affected households but also proved there are negative impacts, and particularly increasing the vulnerability of those left behind; the children and their older carers.
- The concept of multigenerational households (MGHs) introduced in the project are accepted largely at local and national levels, however it takes time to gather evidence necessary to prove the vulnerability of MGHs and their specific needs.
- Over 600 multigenerational households caring for grandchildren are reached through the project by a group of 264 volunteers (215 older persons over 60 years of age and 49 younger volunteers with ages ranging between 35-47).
