Tabitha Bulgaria Foundation is a non-governmental, non-profit making charity organization, registered in public good. It aims at assisting orphans, mentally and physically disabled and abandoned children in institutions, and young people in need. In the last 15 years our organization has been supporting social institutions for children, deprived of parental cares, for children with mental and physical disabilities and for young people who have just left the institutions. Thanks to the moral and financial support of our donors from abroad and Bulgaria, Tabitha Foundation has helped more than 15 institutions with humanitarian aid (food, clothes, shoes, cosmetics, toys), buildings’ renovations and furniture (refurbishing of bedrooms, WC and bath facilities, heating, kitchens, dining rooms, computer halls, classrooms). We have launched educational and vocational training, life skills and social inclusion programs for more than 1500 children and young people. We are proud to have 6-7 young people who are university students. Every summer we organize camps and volunteers’ projects for young people from Holland, UK and USA. We have a Granny Project where we hire local retired women to help two children from a social home - 3-4 hours a day, as a real granny to the kids. The children receive a lot of affection, individual attention and cares which helps their emotional and physical development. The women get some payment and thus we help two marginalized groups of people.
