Moldindconbank and the ULTRA electronics and home appliances showroom are pleased to announce the completion of the second edition of the national campaign “Choose filters instead of plastic,” aimed at kindergartens across the country and organized between July 14 and September 15, 2025. This edition saw the participation of 114 kindergartens, which prepared creative materials — drawings, collages, and videos themed “Why clean water is important for children.”

The jury selected the 10 best projects, which were published on Moldindconbank’s official website for public voting. After an intense week of voting and support from the online community, here are the winners of the 2025 edition:

First place: Kindergarten No. 1 “Andries”, Ialoveni town

Second place: Kindergarten No. 36 “Ilenuta”, Balti town

Third place: Kindergarten No. 3 “Lastarel”, Calarasi town

Alexander Picker, Chairman of the Managing Board of Moldindconbank:

“Together with our partners at ULTRA and kindergartens across the country, we have managed to turn a beautiful idea into a tangible project with real results. We are pleased with everyone’s involvement—from teachers and parents to the little ones, who surprised us with their creativity and enthusiasm. We are proud of the results and will continue to promote such initiatives, because Moldindconbank is more than just a bank – we are a trusted partner for the community and for all those who believe that change starts with small things.”

Nicolae Popescu, Head of B2C Sales at ULTRA:

“It was a real joy for us to be part of this project. It is not just about water filters, but about children’s health, about good habits formed by little ones, and about a cleaner future. When you see how creative and involved the children, teachers, and parents were, you realize that this kind of initiative really matters. We wanted the prizes to be not only useful, but also a symbol of care for children and nature. And yes, we hope that this project will inspire as many such actions as possible throughout the country.”

The other seven finalist kindergartens prepared thoroughly, producing very well done projects, and this effort deserves to be appreciated and rewarded. Therefore, each of them will receive a prize in the form of a voucher worth 5,000 lei to be used in the Librarius bookstore chain. These are the Tic-Pitic Mioveni kindergarten in Magdacesti village, Criuleni district, the Andries kindergarten no. 2 in Rezina town, the kindergarten no. 37 in Balti municipality, the kindergarten no. 104 in Chisinau municipality, the Licurici kindergarten in Geamana village, Anenii Noi district, the kindergarten no. 116 in Chisinau municipality, and the Steluta kindergarten no. 13 in Soroca municipality.
