Adopt a Neighborhood Bulgaria Campaign was started in 2018, shortly after we began our partnership and children's curriculum implementation with Metro World Child out of Brooklyn, NY. MWC is ​an organization with over 50 years of experience in reaching children and youth globally with innovative programs and faith-based principles. 

​

Since then, in April 2021, Changing a Generation-Bulgaria was officially registered as a branch nonprofit organization to our Changing a Generation - USA. We developed our own curricula in 2022 called "The 16 Worlds of Christian" based on the Pilgrim's Progress animated film and book by John Banyan. We released the Bulgarian dubbed animated film in Bulgaria nationwide in April 2022. The film reached over 40,000 people through cinemas and 250 partnering Evangelical churches. 

Our Bulgarian branch has five local partnering churches and non-profits in the regions of Sofia, Veliko Turnovo, Ruse, Pleven and Burgas. We have 22 location where we conduct weekly/monthly outreaches. We have 12 (part and full time) staff and program and  teacher volunteers, as well as additional seasonal volunteers,  who work with us and our children's programs. 

​

We offer individuals, churches and business companies the opportunity to partner with us in practical ways as we meet the needs of the people living in some of the most deprived areas of Bulgaria.
