The construction of Pious Nazaria social – philanthropic settlement of Varatec Monastery began eight years ago at the time when His Beatitude Patriarch Daniel was Metropolitan of Moldova and Bucovina. At present, the construction of the place is already over and furnished. The kitchen and washhouse will be furnished in the near future. The chapel of the place must be also painted and furnished. All these works will be finished, most probably, next year, when the settlement will be consecrated. 84 old people will be hosted here in the three room flats.
