KIEV, Ukraine (JTA) –Two Jewish relief groups joined to train Jewish women in Moldova to navigate the workplace.
The program based in Kishniev and sponsored by World Jewish Relief, based in London, and World ORT, the international Jewish education andb training group, will train 60 women in communicating effectively with potential employers and colleagues.
Moldova is the poorest country in Europe with the highest percentage of single parent families.
The course aims to assist single-parent or otherwise vulnerable families to support themselves so as to reduce the burden of welfare provision within Moldova’s Jewish community, which numbers an estimated 23,000, most depending on external support.
