About Save The Orphans – Moldova
Sylvia Mader, the founder of Save the Orphans, has been contributing to orphanages in Moldova since 2004. Her team established their non-profit status in 2016 with the mission to protect and empower orphans from human and sex trafficking. Save the Orphans accomplishes this objective through a multifaceted approach that combines training and humanitarian assistance along with sharing the Good News of Jesus:
- Free computer programming, coding, and electronics training for youth
- For orphans, refugees and the poor: sponsorship of Christian foster families, distribution of food, clothing, and supplies, and distribution of life-saving firewood and food in the winter months
- Fostering self-reliance among foster families with vegetable and fruit gardens
- Partnership with Moldova NGO Beginning of Life to eliminate trafficking
- Working with Ukrainian refugees and orphans affected by the conflict with Russia
STO partners with the faith-based community of Moldovan leaders to provide spiritual knowledge, food, clothing, and school supplies to orphans, social orphans, destitute families, and foster homes. The Save the Orphans staff and network of associates in Moldova are all volunteers.
