I applied to the International Women's Club in Sofia to provide a transition home for orphans once they gradate. Often times these young adults have no where to go and have as little as a month to find out what to do with their lives. This home will help them adjust to living in a community, find work, and take care of themselves. A big problem in orphanages is that everything is done for the children. They leave not knowing how to cook or clean.
The Women's Club decided to fund half the budget, which includes remodeling a house to be used as the transition home. The other half of the budget includes funiture and appliances. They will try to secure these items through donors in Bulgaria. This project will be up and running by the end of the school year.
Bratsigovo is home to three orphanages. Two of which are among the most well run in the country. We shouldn't have a problem filling up the fourteen spaces in the transition home.
