Empowering Ukrainian Refugees through Technology: The YMCA Resource and Development Centre in Moldova
In today’s digital age, the ability to navigate technology effectively is crucial for personal and professional development. This principle is at the heart of the YMCA Resource and Development Centre’s mission in Chisinau, Moldova, where we are honored to provide resources, assistence and support to Ukrainian refugees.
Welcoming All to Our Public Center

We are delighted to welcome everyone and offer a variety of services aimed at enhancing digital literacy and access to crucial information. YMCA commitment is to ensure that people can find employment, gain new skills, and stay informed about important topics.
The Importance of Digital Proficiency
Mastering technology, whether through a laptop or a smartphone, is essential. It allows us to receive and read important information published by both the Moldovan and Ukrainian governments. This digital proficiency also enables us to register for services and access various online resources. Thanks to HP, the center is equipped with laptops, enhancing our ability to offer these vital skills.
Practical Applications in Daily Life
The technology becomes an indispensable tool for everybody these days. “It can be surprising but we are using this hub when we are serching for different information. From here I am applying to different trainings or programmes” said Valentina.
“It is very useful for us. We can search a house, a job or to find support from organisations such as YMCA” said Olga
Using Online Resources for Assistance
Online resources offer a comprehensive array of services, including housing, assistance, and job opportunities. These platforms are incredibly convenient and well-organized, making it easy to find the help you need. They are a testament to effective digital service provision, ensuring that all essential information is just a click away.
Convenience of Internet Use
Whether on a smartphone or a laptop, the internet makes life more convenient. It aids in helping grandchildren with their homework and managing various personal matters. Online resources create a user-friendly environment where all necessary conditions are met, enhancing the ease of access and usability.
The Refugee Skilling and Support Project
This specific activity with Ukrainian refugees is part of the Refugee Skilling and Support Project, funded by Accenture.
