Center for social integration in Dobrich, Bulgaria The H. Stepic CEE Charity finances together with the Red Cross a day care center in Dobrich (Bulgaria) for children in need. The project was triggered by the unfortunate situation of many children who are destined to live on the street. Their parents either left them behind when they moved to a different country, died or have too many children to look after. These children usually have no relatives or friends, and without help they fall through the social safety net. The day care center in Dobrich is able to host 30 children. The aim is to motivate these children to go to school and prepare them for a life in a social system. The pedagogical objective is re-socialization rather than tying the children to an “orphanage”. In extreme cases children are given the opportunity to stay overnight at the center.
