Every kid deserves science

Dear supporters and friends,

Almost three months have passed from our previous progress report and we wish to provide an update on the latest developments in our endeavors to invite traditionally deprived communities to participate in scientific enquiries and knowledge.

After the release of anti-covid measures in Bulgaria, starting in April until now, we had many school visits in Muzeiko. Including kids from unprivileged groups from various towns of Bulgaria. We continue to look for possibilities to bring into the museum more kids from socially disadvantaged families, children with intellectual and physical disabilities, children without parents and isolated groups or those in difficulty (refugees, single mothers, etc.). We continue working with NGOs that support and provide social services to target groups and who work with children at risk and their families in Sofia and the country.

In the last months, Muzeiko team has been focused on:

• Actively working to bring into Muzeiko more kids from socially disadvantaged families, children with intellectual and physical disabilities, children without parents and isolated groups or those in difficulty (refugees, single mothers, etc.) from various towns - about 400 kids and teenagers in the last 6 months have visited Muzeiko with your support.
• Provide access, venue for events, and work with other organizations that help and support kids with special needs
• Manage the Day Care Centre for Ukrainian kids together with Za Dobroto Foundation – every day a full day care for 50-70 kids (lessons, games, sports, Muzeiko programs, food, psychologists, medical care, etc.)
• Providing free access to Muzeiko for Ukrainian families – on average 800 people per month since March 2022.

In these turbulent times, our mission is stronger than ever – to fight ignorance and inspire desire for learning and science. We hope to be able to sparkle the passion for science in many more children. And it is you who can help us in these pursuits!

Thank you for your trust and generosity!

Muzeiko’s team
