Moldindconbank and ULTRA electronics and home appliances showroom awarded Kindergarten No. 1 “Andries” in the town of Ialoveni – the big winner of the 2025 edition of the national campaign “Choose filters instead of plastic,” which aimed to highlight the importance of clean water for children’s health and development.

The atmosphere was festive, emotional, and grateful, with the participation of Moldindconbank management, ULTRA representatives, local public authorities, parents, and, of course, the little winners. The children prepared a special artistic moment—the same creative performance that convinced the jury and the audience that they deserved first place.

Parents sent messages of gratitude, and the director of the institution, Carolina Nofit, emphasized the importance of such a project for children’s health.

Carolina Nofit, Director of Kindergarten No. 1 “Andries”, Ialoveni:

“We are very grateful to Moldindconbank and ULTRA for coming up with this wonderful idea. The project helped us show children how important clean water is. For all of us—parents, teachers, and children—this award also represents a promise: to take care of their health and the environment.”

Alexander Picker, Chairman of the Managing Board, Moldindconbank:

“It is a great joy for us at Moldindconbank to be here today with the children, teachers, and parents of Kindergarten No. 1 “Andries” in Ialoveni, who have demonstrated through their work and creativity how important clean water is for the health and development of the little ones. At Moldindconbank, we believe that every small step counts and that investing in education and health is the most valuable investment we can make. We are happy to see such great involvement from kindergartens across the country and are thankful for the creativity and enthusiasm of the children, who inspire us to continue such initiatives.”

The winner received a full water filtration system, with free maintenance for one year, provided by ULTRA—a prize with a real impact on children’s health.

Nicolae Popescu, Head of B2C Sales, ULTRA:

“It is awesome to see how a simple project can bring so much joy and change to the community. We are proud of the kindergarten for getting involved and want to thank everyone who joined this campaign. We will keep supporting kids’ education and health because they are our future. Together, we can make a cleaner and healthier environment for all kids.”

The “Choose filters instead of plastic” national campaign ran from July 14 to September 15, 2025, and brought together 114 kindergartens from across the country. They prepared drawings, collages, and videos themed “Why clean water is important for children.”

A jury selected 10 kindergartens for the final stage, and the winners were chosen by public vote on social media. Thus, Kindergarten No. 1 “Andries” in Ialoveni was chosen as the grand winner. Second and third place went to Kindergarten No. 36 “Ilenuta” in Balti and Kindergarten No. 3 “Lastarel” in Calarasi, which received professional water filters. The other seven finalist kindergartens were rewarded with vouchers worth 5,000 lei each, valid in the “Librarius” bookstore chain.
