17% of Bulgarian Babies and Young Children Live in Poverty
Startling statistics unveiled by the National Statistical Institute reveal that a staggering 17% of children between the ages of 0 and 5 in Bulgaria grapple with poverty. This concerning figure emerges alongside an infant mortality rate that remains nearly double the European Union average, standing at 3.6%. The most distressing indicators loom over regions inhabited by marginalized ethnic communities.

Key threats identified include an unhealthy environment, inadequate nutrition, insecurity, violence, subpar education, and the compromised health of parents.
'Advocacy for children aged 0-3 living in poverty' project shed light on the pressing need for urgent interventions to uplift the youngest members of society from the grips of poverty and its associated adversities.
