The non-governmental organization “Terra-1530” has been registered on June 30, 1999. It is an umbrella-organization for other 18 ones, such as Terra-HS, Association for Youth Promotion 21 Century etc.
We have the mission to instruct and strengthen rural communities’ capacity on Sustainable Development.
Activities: Starting with 2000 we have been continually publishing the independent periodical ADEVARUL (Truth), newly in three languages: Romanian, Russian, English.
In 2003 year when it was declared an exceptional situation in Vorniceni village, Moldova, because at the “Ion Inculet” lyceum there were identified 75 cases of Hepatitis A. Doctors told that it was caused by the low quality of drinkable water. In the future were expected other cases of disease because the lyceum has not a reliable centralistic supply of water. More than that – there is a danger of new epidemic, because until nowadays the lyceum has no centralized water and it results in the lack of elementary studying conditions.
The first step to create The Moldovan Network of Rural Volunteering Centers for Water (MNRVCW) was done in 2003 (monitoring macro invertebrates; Youth Water Parliament etc). The MNRVCW Mission aims at expanding its activities including other villages, countries on local, regional, national, European and International level.
The MNRVCW will make an important contribution to the achievement of the Millennium Development Goals, to all of which water plays a crucial role.
