For more than 25 years, Caritas Sofia has assisted the most vulnerable members of our society in finding their way to dignity and justice regardless of their religious beliefs, race, gender and other differences. More than twenty different staff teams work with  different vulnerable groups (refugees and asylum seekers; people with disabilities; elderly and infirm people; children and families at risk; and homeless people and addicts) across 11 towns and cities in Bulgaria through a variety of day care, home care and mobile street teams.
