Places We Work

Despite having recently joined the European Union, Bulgaria’s woes are not yet over. There remains a 14% poverty rate, 20% of all transactions currently take place on the black market and the country is still one of the poorest in Central and Eastern Europe. The majority of Bulgaria’s registered Jews are elderly and alone, reliant upon outside assistance for survival.
