ChildAid for Eastern Europe, in collaboration with the Tony Hawks Children's Health Centre, offers music therapy as a form of rehabilitation for children with special needs in Moldova. These sessions enrich the emotional wellbeing of these children and equip them with communication skills they may otherwise struggle to develop. Music is used as a mode of expression when words are difficult to get out, this offers release to children who feel trapped.
By employing trained therapists who conduct 3-4 sessions each working day, the programme reaches a significant number of children, with each attending 10-20 sessions per year. The music therapy sessions are part of an overarching strategy to improve the lives of these children and their families. Many come from socially vulnerable backgrounds, and the centre also focuses on working with parents to prevent children from being abandoned to institutions. They strive to optimise each child's potential for the future, offering them a chance at a better, more fulfilling life.
Use our editor to write a message for your loved one.
We’ll print your message on the inside of the greetings card so your gift is ready to be given.
Then we’ll call up our favourite postie to hand deliver your impact to your loved one.
Our model’s a little different - we work with impact partners on the ground to keep things transparent and effective. These partners are local community organisations and small charities who can get your impact action done in the most efficient way. And rest easy knowing these partners are thoroughly vetted each year to make sure your impact is truly making a difference.
Now for the best part: seeing your impact in action! About 6-12 months after you send your impact, we’ll pop you (and your recipient if you’ve given us their email) an update. This could include text, images, and videos showing how your thoughtful impact has helped transform lives. Who knew giving could feel so good?
