Tulip Foundation charity said it would spend more than 380 000 leva on several major social projects, including the creation of day centres and shelters, as well as the provision of special transport for disabled children.

Among the projects that will be funded by the charity is the repair and furnishing of a consultancy centre for victims of domestic violence in the town of Turgovishte, carried out together with local association for sustainable support of domestic violence victims in the municipality, Naya.

The Sofia-based association I Nas Ni Ima (we also exist) and the Pleven branch of the Bulgarian Association for Persons with Intellectual Disabilities will receive money to buy vans for transportation of children in need from their homes to specialised day-care centres.

Tulip Foundation also provides means for the establishment of a day-care centre, shelter and information centre in Sofia that will offer services for the treatment, rehabilitation and integration of people with severe mental diseases.

A centre for rehabilitation and social integration of adults in Silistra will be repaired, adapted and equipped with funding from the Foundation.
