This is a very important project, under which 295 thousand children enrolled for the 2025-2026 school year will be able to receive 1,000 lei each. I would like to remind you that at the beginning of this year, we provided Easter assistance to more than 230 thousand children under the age of 5. Since 2021, we have doubled the amount allocated to support families in Moldova. Support has increased from 2.8 billion to 4.8 billion lei this year," said Prime Minister Dorin Recean.

An additional 50 million lei has been allocated to the Government Intervention Fund so that the Cabinet can intervene to address the consequences of possible emergencies.
