What should I buy? What should I try? What do I need?
For most of us, these are small daily choices, but for a child, having the opportunity to choose is an important step toward independence.
That is precisely the idea behind the Sponsor a Child program.
With €40 per month, you can support one of the children or young people cared for by the Cedar Foundation. The donated funds become their own budget – for the things they need, want, and choose for themselves.
How does the program work?
You can support a child or young person from our family-type homes in Kyustendil and Kazanlak with a monthly donation of €40. The amount is used for their individual needs, and having their own budget gives them the opportunity to make choices and become more confident in making decisions for themselves.
What will we share with you?
You will receive regular information about how your sponsorship funds are spent, as well as periodic updates about the child or young person - their development, interests, and what is happening around them.
How to get involved?
Make a monthly donation of €40 using the form below. And if you have additional questions, contact Yana-Kalina Mitrovska at yana@cedarfoundation.org.
Why did we create Sponsor a Child?
Since September 1, 2013, The Cedar Foundation has partnered with the American organisation Orphan Sponsorship International (OSI) in support of our shared mission for a better life and more opportunities for disadvantaged people.
Together, we created the “Sponsor a Child” program for the children and young people for whom we provide daily individual care in our family-type homes in Kyustendil and Kazanlak.
The sponsorship is aimed at a specific child or young person, and the monthly donation of €40 provides a personal budget used according to their individual needs, desires, and interests – for clothing, educational materials, gifts, experiences, activities, hobbies, and other things that are important to them.
This gives the child the opportunity to make their own choices and gradually gain confidence in making decisions for themselves, while the sponsor receives regular information on how the funds are used.
