The Chisinau Municipality was represented at the World Urban Forum held in Cairo, Egypt
The municipality of Chisinau reports that during the current week 240 low-income families from the capital and suburbs, those who use firewoods to heat their homes, received firewoods as an aid.
Districts' City Halls ensure free transport of wood to owners' homes based on the lists prepared by the General Department of Social Assistance and Health.
Thus, the beneficiaries of the firewood aid are elderly citizens, people with disabilities, unemployed registered at the Employment Agency, families with three or more children, single parent, low-income people from Chisinau and suburbs. Citizens can apply for this assistance to the Local Social Assistance Departments.
It is worth noting that the municipality has decided to distribute to low-income families, wood left after the sanitary cleaning or cutting off the dried trees in the streets, parks, squares etc.
