Description
The project proposal presents a set of support measures to assist those with temporary protection or asylum seekers from Ukraine. The project activities aim at achieving better capacity to host these people in Bulgaria and improve access to social, health and education services and provide appropriate care for those arriving from Ukraine, mainly women and children. The project team will work in three of the major Bulgarian cities - Sofia, Plovdiv and Burgas - where centres for Ukrainian refugees have been set up to provide services and support. The activities aim at achieving social, economic and cultural adaptation and integration through implementing a comprehensive approach to information provision, needs assessment and improving access to services, Bulgarian language support, career orientation and developing skills among refugee kids from Ukraine. The project will provide services to a minimum of 500 persons, who would be able to benefit from one or more services. The activities are targeted at social inclusion and social assistance, labour market integration and education. The project aims at improving the access to services and building competences for independent realisation of main rights and obligations, as well as offering integration assistance. The project outcomes aim to build upon Caritas Sofia''s capacity as a provider of social, educational and labour market services, with the added value of referrals to other public and private organisations providing support, facilitation of communication and use of available services and case follow-up. This will create the conditions for improved interaction between service users and providers to respond more effectively to the needs of refugees from Ukraine.
