ChildAid’s most recent
project partner is the Phoenix Centre. The centre opened in
September 2015, and is the first centre for children with
disabilities in north Moldova. The staff provide treatment, social
and educational inclusion for children with disabilities, and much-needed
respite for their parents and carers.
The local community are
fully behind the project. It is open 6 days a week, Monday to Saturday
from 8 am till 5 pm. At present the day centre has 31 beneficiaries, 15
children attend every day for 5 days a week, others are at the centre 2-4 days
weekly.
Every fortnight there is a
10-day Assessment Programme for 20 children. The aim of the programme is to
assess children’s needs early in their lives and to support parents to care for
them safely and in a way appropriate to their individual level of
disability.
ChildAid were pleased to
arrange training for the physiotherapists with the Tony Hawks Centre. Therapy
started straight away as so eagerly awaited by children and their
parents.
