Programme Areas

They support programs that, with integrity, scalability, and transparency, boost the long-term achievement of Bulgaria’s poorest, with a focus on the Roma, who comprise a large segment of the poor. This is achieved by supporting three key areas:

•Early childhood development, with an emphasis on healthy parenting and increased participation in preschool
•Educational achievement and drop-out prevention for at-risk pupils, with a focus on improving school participation/learning and increasing graduation from high school
•Access to income opportunities for at-risk groups, specifically job connection, entrepreneurship, and home ownership

In addition they are interested in capacity building for local organizations, with an emphasis on financial accountability and data-based performance evaluation.
