A home in Sculeni, part of a reform moving people out of institutions into the community

One of the eight community homes for people with severe intellectual disabilities in Moldova is in Sculeni, Ungheni district. It is part of a cross-border project funded by the European Union, which is modernising 12 social buildings, and in June the homes' staff were trained in ethics, person-centred care and crisis de-escalation. Behind it lies a quiet but profound reform: moving people out of large institutions into small homes in the community. It is advancing slowly — and that is why it is worth watching.

A woman took the oath of allegiance in Ungheni and became a citizen of Moldova

At the Ungheni District Council, in a solemn setting, with the national anthem, the district president confirmed the taking of the oath of allegiance by a new citizen of the Republic of Moldova — the exact legal moment at which someone becomes a citizen. Triunghi.md does not reveal her identity; but we use the occasion to explain a process that is rarely discussed: how, by which routes and for how many people Moldovan citizenship is acquired today — in a year when the numbers rose sharply.

Why the state now pays for HIV prevention among key groups in Ungheni

Needle exchange, HIV tests, counselling and tuberculosis screening — services that hundreds of people from key groups receive in Ungheni are now paid for from the prophylaxis fund of the National Health Insurance Company, not by foreign donors. Ungheni is named explicitly in a project won in February by the NGO Union for Equity and Health, part of a national package of 33 million lei for 2026–2028. A quiet but consequential shift: in a concentrated epidemic, prevention where the risk is highest protects everyone's health.

What the EU anti-corruption chapter changes for businesses in Ungheni

On 15 June 2026, Moldova opened the «Fundamentals cluster» with the European Union — the negotiating package that includes justice and the fight against corruption and that sets the pace for the whole accession. Eleven days later, the conversation is set to reach Ungheni too: a regional consultation on anti-corruption reforms and European integration, organised by the Ungheni branch of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry together with the Centre for the Analysis and Prevention of Corruption. For a border town, the stakes are not abstract — they are visible right at the Sculeni customs point.

In Ungheni, graduates take the stage in a district its young people are leaving

The Graduates' Ball returns to Ungheni on 18 June 2026, in Independence Square — a ceremony for the young people finishing high school, organised by the city hall together with the district council and the Education Directorate. Last year, the stage in the town centre gathered the graduates of all eight high schools in the district. Beyond the music and the diplomas, the event carries a stake the numbers state bluntly: Ungheni is losing its young people — for every class that climbs the stage, another has already left.

What is lost when a village empties: a living peasant house in Florițoaia Nouă

The Culture Section published a few photographs from a peasant house kept intact in Florițoaia Nouă, in the Ungheni district — a porch with carved wooden pillars, a rail hung with woven cloths, an icon in the corner, a bread oven. It looks like a pretty gallery. Read with an ethnographer's eye, it is more: a grammar of how Moldovans once lived, kept alive by a single person, at a time when villages are emptying and houses are left without owners.

80 young people graduated from Ungheni's art school, named after Raisa Cojocaru

The Art School in Ungheni held its 2026 graduation: 80 children and teenagers (74 from the fourth-year classes and 6 from the fifth year) finished their years of drawing, painting and sculpture, according to the City Hall. The school bears the name of Raisa Cojocaru, who led it for almost four decades, and has a tradition of over 57 years. And the stakes are higher than a ceremony: in a district that has lost more than half of its young people in twelve years, every generation trained at home counts.

Twenty teachers from Ungheni and Călărași learn how to include children with special needs in class

A workshop run by CCF Moldova trained 20 teachers from ten schools in the Ungheni and Călărași districts to work better with parents and with children who have special educational needs. They, in turn, will train more than 120 colleagues. Beyond the event, Ungheni is one of the country's two pilot regions for inclusive education — and the road from the orphanage to the classroom next door has changed radically in recent years.

At the Palace of Culture in Ungheni, young people discover rare crafts — origami, quilling and the art of pressed flowers

A creative workshop at the Palace of Culture gathered young people in Ungheni around four techniques with surprising stories: the Japanese folding of paper, the paper filigree once rolled on goose quills, the «painting» from pressed flowers once practised by samurai, and découpage. Beyond a pleasant afternoon, the workshop says something about what the town still offers its young people — in a district they are leaving.
