WHO WE ARE?

Hai Moldova!

In 2011 young people, inspired by Let’s Do it World campaign, decided to make Moldova cleaner. During first and second editions (in 2011 and 2012) social movement Hai Moldova convinced about 224, 000 volunteers to take part in National Cleanup Day.

During two days Hai Moldova volunteers collected 15,000 tonnes of garbage from parks of over 800 communities of Moldova.

In third edition (which concentrated its power in Chisinau to conquer garbage of the whole country in future year) this year 3 500 de volunteers and 8 068 bags.

MEGA

In 2013 the team of young folks, concerned about the engagement of youth into ecological issues and willing to upgrade environmental education, came up with an idea of an e-learning platform in the form of a game that can be played in both virtual and real world.

This game was designed to teach young people to protect the environment and produce valuable social change. Now it’s an award-winning internationally-acclaimed gamification platform that so far has engaged more than 200 users and 30 organizations into collaborative learning and action on various environmental issues.

You can also create impact!
