Transnistria or Moldavian Transnistrian Republic declared independence from Moldova in 1990. However, internationally it is still seen as a part of Moldova. When entering the country from the Moldovan side, visitors go through triple security, which is somewhat easy on the Moldova side. Visitors show their passports to peacekeeping forces, who are Russian troops, and finally they must fill in a form and have their passports re-checked by Transnistria customs officers.

Chisinau, Moldova. Fifteen years ago, Lena had to leave her job working as a  nurse in the Moldovan hospital department. Almost immediately, she started to work as a volunteer within a home care project, a project created by Caritas Czech Republic  from 2007 to 2010 which was financially supported by the Czech Development Agency.

One of the project's main goals is to improve the  medical and psychosocial condition of people who are sick, elderly or handicapped. The project also aims to improve the professional capacities of those working in the field of home care, as well as  informing the public about the home care model as a suitable form of medical and social service.

The aim of this project is to provide support and development of cooperation between nongovernmental organizations, local self-government and citizens in Cahul region.
