Phoenix Complex

A groundbreaking initiative revolutionizing social services in Moldova and beyond, offering comprehensive support and care for disabled children and their families.

Day Centre

In 2013, our journey began with a simple yet powerful mission: to enhance the lives of children with mobility challenges. Initially, we distributed 200 wheelchairs, hoping to transform the lives of countless children overnight. However, we soon realized that true transformation requires more than just mobility—it requires inclusion, education, and love.

Driven by this realization, we set out to create a haven where these children could thrive. Thus, the Phoenix Centre was born—an inclusive space designed to empower children with all the tools they need to flourish.

At the Phoenix Centre, we believe in the power of inclusion. Here, every child is welcomed with open arms, regardless of their abilities. Our dedicated team ensures that each child receives personalized education tailored to their unique needs, fostering growth and development in a supportive environment.

But our commitment doesn’t end there. We understand that access to nutritious food and reliable transportation is essential for a child’s well-being. That’s why we provide wholesome meals and transportation services, ensuring that no child is left behind.

Above all, the Phoenix Centre is a place of love and care. From our passionate staff to our network of supporters, every individual involved is dedicated to nurturing these children and helping them reach their full potential.

Join us at the Phoenix Centre, where every child’s journey is fueled by inclusion, education, and love. Together, we can empower these remarkable children to spread their wings and soar to new heights.

Come be a part of something extraordinary. Come be a part of the Phoenix Centre family.

Early Intervention and Rehabilitation Program

Welcome to Phoenix Early Intervention and Rehabilitation – Empowering Children for a Brighter Future!

At Phoenix, we understand the critical importance of early intervention and rehabilitation for children with special needs. In 2016, recognizing the lack of such services available to these children, we took a bold step forward and established our Early Intervention and Rehabilitation program.

Located in the heart of Moldova’s northern region, our center serves as a beacon of hope for families seeking support for their children’s development. Since its inception, our program has provided invaluable services to over 1200 children, delivering a staggering 36000 therapies free of charge.

But our impact doesn’t stop there. In collaboration with four other NGOs dedicated to early intervention, we’ve tirelessly advocated for the recognition and prioritization of these services within government agendas. Today, we’re proud to say that our efforts have borne fruit, with the government now acknowledging the significance of early intervention and including it as a key agenda item. Phoenix is honored to be among the contracted NGOs entrusted with this vital mission.

Our comprehensive program offers a range of specialized therapies designed to address each child’s unique needs:

  • • Physiotherapy: Helping children build strength, coordination, and mobility.
  • • Ergo-therapy: Enhancing fine motor skills and promoting independence in daily activities.
  • • Speech and Language Therapy: Fostering communication skills and empowering children to express themselves.
  • • Counseling and Parental Support: Providing guidance, resources, and support to parents as they navigate their child’s developmental journey.

At Phoenix, we believe in the transformative power of early intervention and rehabilitation. Every child deserves the opportunity to reach their full potential, and we’re here to provide the support and resources they need to thrive.

Phoenix Pool – Transforming Lives through Hydrotherapy!

In 2021, we proudly opened the first and only hot water swimming pool in Northern Moldova. With an investment of approximately £210,000, this pool is fully accessible, allowing any child, youth, or adult to enter and exit the water with ease and enjoy the benefits of hydrotherapy.

This revolutionary pool has quickly become a healing haven for the community. Over 800 children and adults have already benefited from water treatments, with truly remarkable results. At the Phoenix Centre, children who face significant mobility challenges can now experience walking in water for the first time. Imagine what this means for a child who never thought they would ever be able to walk!

Phoenix Pool is not just a place for hydrotherapy but also for swimming and relaxation. Our state-of-the-art facilities include:

  • • Hydrotherapy: Effective therapy to improve mobility and reduce pain.
  • • Swimming: Recreational and therapeutic activity for all ages.
  • • Salt, Steam, and Dry Sauna: Dedicated spaces for relaxation and wellness.

At Phoenix Pool, we believe in the healing power of water and its ability to transform lives. We are proud to offer a unique and accessible experience for everyone, regardless of their abilities.

Phoenix Home
Redefining Elderly Care with Compassion and Sustainability

Since its inception, Phoenix Centre has proudly provided all services free of charge, solely relying on donations. While this is incredibly rewarding, it also presents significant challenges. To ensure the long-term sustainability of the Phoenix Complex, we embarked on creating a social enterprise: Phoenix Home.

During our visits to numerous state care homes in Moldova, we were deeply moved by the harsh conditions we encountered. This inspired us to develop Phoenix Home, a facility that not only sets a new standard for elderly care but also supports the financial sustainability of the Phoenix Complex.

In 2019, with an investment of £190,000, Phoenix Home was established. Despite the delays caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, our first residents moved in late 2020, and we have been fully operational since 2021.

Phoenix Home is designed to feel just like home. Our commitment is to provide a warm, compassionate, and supportive environment for the elderly, ensuring they receive the best possible care. We strive to create a model of elderly care that others can follow, demonstrating how it should be done.

Key Features of Phoenix Home:

  • • Compassionate Care: Personalized attention to ensure the well-being and happiness of our residents.
  • • Comfortable Living: A homely atmosphere that promotes peace and comfort.
  • • Sustainable Operations: Helping to secure the future of Phoenix Complex through a self-sustaining model.
