BULGARIAN CHRISTMAS

Bulgarian Christmas is a charity initiative of the President of the Republic of Bulgaria, which aims to encourage philanthropy, to help solve significant problems for society, concerning the health of children and to support their treatment.
 
The distribution of the funds raised is implemented jointly by the Presidential Institution, the Bulgarian National Television, Nova TV and the Expert Council of the Bulgarian Christmas Initiative. The involvement of leading specialists in the field of children's health, NGOs and patient organisations contributes to the principles of publicity and transparency.
 
As a result of the 2021/2022 donation campaign and the commitment of thousands of well-meaning Bulgarians, in 2022 Bulgarian Christmas has a budget of BGN 3,070,000.
 
In 2022, 517 children have been assisted to carry out diagnostics, treatment and rehabilitation for a total amount of BGN 991,122 and medical equipment has been provided to 22 medical institutions across the country for a total amount of BGN 1,701,112.
 
Traditionally, at the beginning of December, the new edition of this noble endeavour was launched. For the twentieth consecutive time, on the eve of the Christmas and New Year holidays, we will unite again for the sake of the health of Bulgarian children.
 
The campaign, which will continue throughout the next year, is under the motto "Give hope to a child in need" and supports children with rare genetic diseases.
 
The initiative reaches out for another year to all children with various diseases, conditions and disabilities who are in need of funds for diagnostication, treatment, including medication, rehabilitation, speech therapy and psychological therapy, as well as medical devices and aids.
 
The new edition of Bulgarian Christmas aims to help the modern treatment of children also by providing high-tech equipment for precise diagnostication, treatment and rehabilitation in university and multidisciplinary medical institutions. We believe that by providing such equipment we will expand the opportunities of Bulgarian doctors to apply modern innovative methods of treatment.
 
Bulgarian Christmas is a hope for more saved children, returned children's smiles and peaceful Bulgarian households. Because every child deserves a happy childhood and a full life!
