Our objective is to make, starting with Grozesti village and continuing with other localities, the people live in better conditions from now on, make them have drinking water and sewerage in their houses, renovated kindergartens, street lighting, safe parks”, said Vlad Plahotniuc.
 
Along with his fellow villagers the Edelweiss founder inaugurated in Grozesti a new park in the heart of the village installed for the needs of the villagers on an area of 3000 square meters. “Many memories link me with this village; I have spent my childhood here and learned a lot. Since my early age I had big plans regarding this place as I had done in respect of all that I had built after leaving the village, whether it was charitable projects, business projects or even political projects. I have always set the highest goals and worked to achieve them”, Vlad Plahotniuc explained why he chose to launch the project “Village of the Future” namely in his native village. 

Before launching this new national project the Vlad Plahotniuc’s Foundation solved over the years many problems faced by rural citizens through donations of books and computers, repairs of kindergartens and schools or installation of heating systems in public institutions.
