Mission Statement
One Heart Bulgaria was created to dramatically improve the lives of thousands of children living in orphanages. We provide for the children’s immediate, critical needs and sustain an infrastructure that will ensure their long-term social, emotional, mental, and physical health. We work towards the deinstitutionalization of these children by supporting foster care initiatives and services in the community that support families in keeping their children. Our abandonment prevention programs provide underprivileged girls and women with prenatal care and classes, with the goal of reducing birth defects and preventing child abandonment. All of our initiatives and programs assist in a movement to shut down Bulgaria’s orphanage system.
