Red Cross of the Republic of Moldova

35 Years of Humanity in Moldova By Your Side.

For 35 years, we have been responding wherever we are needed. We protect lives. We support communities. We act swiftly in emergencies.

The Red Cross Society of Moldova is part of the world's largest humanitarian movement. Present in various forms across multiple stages of Moldovan statehood, the organisation was recognised by the International Committee of the Red Cross on 24 October 2001, and on 7 November of the same year became a member of the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies. It operates as an auxiliary to the public authorities in the humanitarian field, in accordance with the Decree of the President of the Republic of Moldova of 01.12.1992, Law No. 139 of 10.05.2001, and the Geneva Conventions.

The organisation is present in 21 districts across the country, including on the left bank of the Dniester. More than 1,500 active volunteers support communities throughout Moldova. Each year, the organisation reaches thousands of beneficiaries through direct services and rapid response.
