Our Mission
The National Network for Children advocates for the rights and well-being of children by uniting and developing a broad, socially relevant network of organizations and supporters.
Our cause
In order to ensure the rights and improve the well-being of children and families in Bulgaria, we carry out advocacy campaigns in partnership with the NGO sector, businesses, institutions and individual citizens and with the support of the children themselves.
Thanks to our team of experts, we develop informed policies for children and families and work with the legislature and executive to implement them.
We are also working to consolidate the NGOs working in the field of children and families, as well as to improve communication and the exchange of experience and good practices between them.
