"HOT MEAL" PROGRAMME
Back
Hot Meal Programme of BRC has been implemented for 20 years. Started in 2004 up to now it has provided free lunches at school, for 23 285 needy children from all over the country (orphans, semi orphans, from poor families, with single parents, with one or both unemployed parents, etc.). Funds, needed for its implementation are provided through joint charity campaigns with partner organizations from Care Partners Network of BRC. The donated funds until now are 3 848 994 BGN (1 700 000 lunches).
The main goal is to support children from socially retarded families and their parents. Very often the free lunch at school is a reason for such children to attend the school lessons.
The Programme contributes for the normal physical development of the children, helps to reduce their morbidity due to inproper feeding. Each year thousands of children drop from school due to the social reasons. Thanks to this Programme we manage to bring them back to school.
The Hot Meal Programme has 20 years of sustainability. During the 2023/2024 school year, 1 755 needy children from 21 regions in the country receive each school day in the winter months a free hot meal. Provided funds for this year are 379 285 BGN.
Anyone can support the cause. Donate 1 free meal to 1 child in need in Bulgaria with SMS to |1255 (1 BGN.) or become an regular donor with 2 ot 5 BGN per month.
Every donation is valuable for us as even the smallest amount could feed a child in need.
The main objective of the campaign is to support the physical development of orphans, homeless and children of single parents and to reduce their morbidity through a hot meal.
