OutReach Moldova (ORM) is an Irish Charity that has been working for 10 years with abandoned and orphaned children with special needs in the Republic of Moldova

Mission Statement:

Outreach Moldova is dedicated to providing basic human rights, medical care and social justice for children that have been abandoned or orphaned, children with special needs and children with terminal illnesses in the Republic of Moldova.

Goals:

The goal of ORM is to provide immediate and ongoing assistance where necessary, provide the necessary training and supervision required, assist in and develop long-term, self-sustaining programs that will have a positive and lasting impact in the lives of these needy children and their care givers. We also strive to provide for the communities working with these children

How do we achieve this goal?

We work the belief that each life matters. In partnership with the Moldovan people we hope to change the way people think about and define both “disability” and illness; We hope to break down and end the internalized shame among people with disabilities; and promote the belief in society that disability is a natural part of human diversity in which people living with disabilities can take pride.

Vision:

ORM’s vision is that each person who is physically, mentally or socially disadvantaged deserves to be given special treatment, education and appropriate care required by their particular condition regardless of circumstance.
