PATHWAYS TO FREEDOM
Project, supporting young people leaving alternative care facilities in Bulgaria
WELCOME TO THE WEB PAGE OF
"PATHWAYS TO FREEDOM" PROJECT!
At the beginning of 2020, SOS Children's Villages Bulgaria started the implementation of the project "Pathwayss to Freedom: Empowering Young People from Alternative Care to Live Independently and Fully".
The project lasted 40 months and was funded in the amount of EUR 196 760 through the Active Citizens Fund Bulgaria from Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway under the EEA Financial Mechanism.
The aim of the project is:
-
to empower 210 young people who leave different forms of alternative care, to successfully start an independent life by providing an innovative new service – "Support for independent living". Support for young people is implemented through an individualized package of supporting activities and services;
-
to achieve a strong commitment by the state and civil society to introduce a social service to support the start of an independent life of young people leaving care.
ABOUT US
Who are we?
SOS Children's Villages Bulgaria Association is the first civil rights organization in Bulgaria providing direct alternative family care for children at risk, registered in 1991.
The association is a licensed provider of several social services for children and families: Foster Care, Family-like residential care, Social Support Center and Mother and Baby Unit.
Fundamental to our activity is a child-centered approach that involves providing services or providing care that is in the best interest of each child, regardless of their race, gender, language, ethnic and social background, and religious background.
Our vision is: Every child grows up in a loving home, surrounded by love, respect and security.
