Help Us Provide Nutritious Food to Vulnerable Kids

Dear Donor,

Coronavirus has affected everyone's lives. But without any doubt, the society’s most vulnerable will be hit the hardest as the pandemic spreads.Thecoronavirus COVID-19is already having a devastating effects on families’ ability to get food, putting huge numbers of children at risk of malnutrition.

Therefore, we decided to support 100 vulnerable young pregnant women and teenage moms and their babies living in Sofia and Plovdiv. Tailored to the special needs of each of the families and stages of motherhood (pregnancy, baby or toddler), they receive an individually prepared food package. All the donations we received from you, together with some money from our emergency fund we manage to provide nutritious food for those in need.

We couldn’t have done it without you.

Thank you again for backing our cause to provide nutritious food to vulnerable families. We hope that this campaign will continue inspire and excite you and with your help we will be able to continue providing food for the babies and their moms.

Stay safe!

Warm wishes,

Olya

Dear Donors and Friends,

We hope you had a great December! We feel especially grateful for your support as we prepare for the holidays and reflect on your impact throughout 2019.

We express our deepest gratitude for your contributions to our campaign “Help Us Provide Nutritious Food to Vulnerable Kids”. Thanks to you, we have provided nutritious food packages to 10 vulnerable teenage moms and their babies living in Sofia.

After the packages were distributed, we received another generous donation of $130 that will help us support more at-risk families in the coming months.  We hope the campaign will continue to inspire and excite you so that with your valuable help we can reach the project’s goal and meet the nutrition needs of 70 young mothers and their infants.

Thank you very much for your generosity. We look forward to sharing with you more about our work with these families in the new year!

Warm wishes,

Dear Donor,

Thank you for your generous support!

Adequate nutrition during infancy and early childhood is essential to ensure the growth, health, and development of children to their full potential. Therefore, enormous thanks to all of you who didn’t stay indifferent to our cause. Together we have succeeded in raising $312.30 for the campaign aiming at providing nutritious food to vulnerable teenage moms and their babies.

Despite some administrative challenges in pushing the project forward, we have recently managed to make some real progress and use the funds we have raised together for providing in-kind nutritional support to poor Roma families in the greatest need. Due to the high number of young pregnant women and infants living in severe poverty, our teams applied a list of vulnerability criteria in order to select the most at-risk economically disadvantaged families which would receive the food support.

Two weeks ago, we purchased and prepared individual packages containing baby food for infants up to 12 months and essential products such as rice, beans, lentils, flour and sunflower oil for toddlers and pregnant women. The selected 10 families are part of our home-visiting project Nurse-Family Partnership (NFP). The NFP home-visitors (nurses and midwives) provide support, care and new knowledge to young mothers living in poverty.

You can see here some of the pictures our team of nurses has made when delivering the food packages. They show how much joy and happiness your contribution has brought to the families and how important your help is.

In addition to what was already done, we continue our efforts in subsidizing the cost of warm baby food and partnering with local kitchens to provide moms and their children with healthy food on a daily basis. We hope the campaign will continue to inspire and excite you so that with your valuable help we can reach the project’s goal and meet the nutrition needs of 70 teenage moms and their infants.

Thank you again for backing our cause.

Best,
