Provision of humanitarian aid to children experiencing physical and emotional needs. This includes the distribution of basic food products, such as beans, lentils, rice, flour, pasta, oil, sugar, eggs, white cheese and sometimes meat.

Providing heating for the winter, warm beds, wheel chairs and medication. Many children have physical problems that include incontinence, or those with emotional problems that cause bed-wetting. Children with disabilities are not potty-trained and pampers are a big need. Also plastic sheets to cover the mattresses.

Annual summer camps with the help of volunteers from abroad. Here they also have the opportunity to attend workshops on arts and crafts, learning English and other languages through music programs.

The Foundation also accommodate and support artists working on murals in the orphanages, as well as international groups who come to Bulgaria to paint the orphanages and do general repair work.

Educational Project: Due to financial problems the government reduced the age limit of the children in one of the orphanages. After 4th class these kids have to leave the orphanage. Many of them end up on the street. We have a project to help 20 of these kids to continue their education. They need to travel daily to a school in a nearby village. Monthly bus tickets will be provided as well as school books, shoes, winter jackets and one meal a day.
