In 2001, there were approximately 14,000 children in institutions in Moldova. Today, thanks to a determined effort by the Government and civil society actors, fewer than 600 children remain in institutions, however a large proportion of those remaining in institutions are children with disabilities.
In order to respond to the urgent need for young children with disabilities to have access to high-quality, holistic support in their communities, Lumos piloted an innovative model of Early Childhood Intervention (ECI) services in the regions of Ialoveni and Floresti (2019/2020).
This resource details our model of ECI services, the impact, learnings and features a case study from this work in Moldova.
