Save the Orphans – Moldova

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. We accomplish this through education and acquiring vocational job skills, which provide an alternative to the deception used by sexual traffickers offering false promises of foreign job opportunities.

We partner within the faith-based community of 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.

See the Newsletters below and the News section on this site for updates on orphan-related activities.

“I have seen the potential of these orphans and I am continually overwhelmed with how much they can achieve when given the basic necessities along with encouragement and compassion. They are inspiring! “
