The most important objective of the Project is to provide emergency help for providing food, fuel for the heating, and clothes for mentally disabled persons. Improvement within the institutions in terms of health and hygiene. Practically the aims will be agreed with the Director of each institution. An important result of the Project will be that it will raise awareness in Bulgarian society and will overcome the absence of compassionate care toward mentally disabled. The National Society for Support to Persons with Mental Handicap, set up in 1993, is biggest NGO in Bulgaria supporting mentally disabled persons.
Society has now qualified and experienced staff and five fully equipped offices.
Society is in good cooperation with the Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs as well as other state authorities, Municipalities and NGOs in Bulgaria, related to this issue. Society is having already a good experience in participation in EC projects. We hope very much that we will find partners and friends ready to help this Project. Behind the words of this proposal there are people in terrible need. Dimitrovgrad Jordanka Djeljaskova - 14.
