IATP Training Helps Local NGO Win Grant Award

In March 2009, Moldovan NGO Biaz Gul (White Rose) won a second project grant with assistance from IATP. The NGO advocates for the rights and social reintegration of people living with HIV/AIDS.

The $3,000 grant was provided by the Soros Foundation. These funds will go towards consultations and social support services for HIV/AIDS patients in southern Moldova. In 2008, Comrat IATP staff taught Biaz Gul representatives to use computers and the internet in seeking grant opportunities. That December, the group received $1,000 from the United Nations International Children's Emergency Fund (UNICEF) for a project improving the quality of life for children living in HIV/AIDS-affected families.

Biaz Gul President Alexander Zavrichko told IATP that, "as our association at present is in search of an office, the IATP center remains for us our only opportunity to work on computers and access the internet free of charge. Thanks to IATP, we have achieved serious successes, such as enhancing our knowledge, gaining new contacts, and winning two grants for our project."

Since opening in 2008, the USAID-funded IATP center in Comrat has reached hundreds of this region’s underserved citizens. IATP’s assistance to individuals is multiplied when it helps organizations such as Biaz Gul improve their potential and communities.
