InterNations is coordinating donations through non-governmental organization, Memoria, founded during the war in 1992 when Russia sponsored separatist movements in parts of Moldova. During the last 3 decades, prior to Russian aggression in Ukraine, this nonprofit partnered with the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees and was actively helping refugees and asylum seekers in Moldova.
