Asociaţia pentru amenajare s.Ferapontievca · IDNO 1014620005148 · Тымпларилор 1а, MD-3100, Bălți, Moldova
Our history
The association was formed by a group of residents of s. Ferapontievca who were confronted with a very ordinary problem: shared spaces that nobody was responsible for. Verges were overgrown, public lighting was incomplete, the central area of the village was worn, and the informal maintenance that neighbours had always provided could no longer keep pace. Individual goodwill was abundant; structure was missing.
Rather than wait, those residents chose the route Moldovan law provides for exactly this situation. They drafted a constitutive statute, convened a founding general assembly, adopted a mission focused on the amenity and development of the locality, elected an administrative board, and registered the organisation as a non-commercial association. The association received registration number IDNO 1014620005148 and established its headquarters at Тымпларилор 1а, MD-3100, Bălți, Moldova, where its administrative and project documentation is maintained.
From that point the work became continuous rather than occasional. Cleaning and planting campaigns were organised on a seasonal calendar instead of by improvisation. Small infrastructure needs were collected, ranked and documented so they could be presented to local public authorities and potential funders as proper project files. Public meetings were minuted. Expenditure was recorded against each activity. What had been neighbourly effort became an institution capable of entering into partnerships, receiving grants and accounting for them.
Today Asociaţia pentru amenajare s.Ferapontievca operates four permanent program lines — public space beautification and landscaping, infrastructure and community development support, civic education and community workshops, and environmental sustainability initiatives — while continuing to respond to the practical requests residents bring to our office. Our ambition has not changed since the founding assembly: to leave the shared environment of our community measurably better than we found it, and to leave behind residents who know how to keep it that way.

Core values
Community collaboration
No project of ours begins without the people it affects. Residents identify the need, help shape the solution, and take part in the work. Collaboration is not consultation theatre — it determines what we build and in what order.
Sustainable development
We choose materials, plantings and methods that survive without permanent subsidy. A bench that lasts a decade, a tree that shades a courtyard in twenty years, a drainage channel that prevents erosion — durability is the measure of value.
Transparency
Our decisions, budgets and results are recorded and available for inspection. Any resident, partner, donor or authority may request documentation of any activity we have carried out, and will receive it.
Civic responsibility
We believe public space is a shared obligation, not a service delivered from elsewhere. Our civic education work exists so that responsibility for the commons outlives any individual project or leadership.
Public service
We are a non-profit association: we distribute no profit, we serve no private interest, and every resource entrusted to us is applied to the public benefit of the community we were founded to serve.
Governance, leadership and oversight
Supreme body
General Assembly of Members
The general assembly is the highest authority of the association. It approves the annual activity report and the financial report, adopts the work plan and budget, amends the statute, elects and discharges the members of the administrative board, and decides on affiliation, merger or dissolution. Assemblies are convened in accordance with the statute, and every session is recorded in signed minutes retained at our headquarters.
Executive body
Administrative Board
The administrative board manages the association between general assemblies. It represents the association in relations with public authorities, partners and donors; approves individual project files and their budgets; authorises expenditure within the limits set by the assembly; concludes agreements; and appoints project coordinators. Board members serve fixed mandates and are personally accountable to the assembly for the decisions they take.
Control function
Project Oversight Committees
For each significant activity, the board constitutes an oversight committee drawn from members and, where relevant, beneficiary residents. The committee verifies that the work delivered corresponds to the approved plan, that quantities and invoices match, and that the activity was carried out in the agreed location and to the agreed standard. Its findings are submitted in writing and form part of the reporting file.
Conflict of interest and integrity
Members of the administrative board and of oversight committees are required to declare any personal, family or commercial interest in a matter under consideration and to abstain from the corresponding decision. Procurement of goods, works and services is carried out on the basis of comparative offers. Documentation supporting each decision and each payment is archived at our registered headquarters at Тымпларилор 1а, MD-3100, Bălți, Moldova and may be consulted on request submitted to info@ferapontievca.sbs.
