Summary

We are building a permanent equine therapy centre in Bulgaria - a place where children with disabilities and their families can come for free residential stays with horses and nature. Now we operate from rented land with temporary infrastructure that limits what we can do. The centre gives our horses a home and our program year-round capacity. We are currently funding Phase 1 - securing permanent land and infrastructure. Donations build the centre once. The center keeps therapy free forever.

Challenge

Bulgaria's healthcare system offers almost no support for children with disabilities. We respond with free equine-assisted therapy. However, operating from rented land limits us. We cannot offer residential stays, cannot run winter sessions, cannot guarantee land access next year. Every storm risks fencing we have repaired dozens of times. We depend on rentals that might not be secured. Temporary infrastructure means we survive year to year instead of planning for decades.

Solution

The center will be built in phases. Phase 1:secure the land and permanent infrastructure - fencing, water, safe pastures we own. Phase 2 build residential facilities for families to stay 3-7 days. Phase 3:build a covered arena for year-round sessions. Once complete, the center will offer paid services to sustain itself - so therapeutic sessions for those in need remain free forever. Most importantly we will be able to increase the number of families who benefit from horse therapy in the region.

Long-Term Impact

A permanent center transforms us. Instead of single sessions, we offer immersive multi-day stays for entire families with variety of therapy programs. A dedicated residential equine therapy model, ready to serve families across the region. Owning our facilities means lower operating costs - more funds to therapy, not infrastructure. It unlocks long-term grants and paid programs that subsidize free sessions. It becomes a community hub. The center is our path to financial independence.
