Every investment in a childhood is an investment in the future for all of us.
The Problem
Predestination can be broken, however, if a head start is not a privilege but a fundamental right of every child. If we invest in this, we invest in the future of all of us. This campaign aims to open the dialogue about the need for personal, social and economic support for childhood, which will reduce marginalization and provide equal opportunities for the growth of individuals independent of external circumstances.
Poverty, like wealth, is inherited. Unfavorable socio-economic conditions are often beyond the control of parents, but can become a reason for their personal, social and financial independence. This almost inevitably instills in children a sense of impasse, showing them how adults are always dependent on external circumstances.
However, when a good start in life stops being a privilege and becomes a fundamental right of every child, we can change this fate. If we invest in childhoods, we invest in the future of all of us, and we all reap the rewards. This campaign aims to open up the conversation about the need for personal, social and economic support for childhoods.

The Action Plan
What it means, what we need, and what we can achieve.
Every single investment in childhoods today leads to a significant return for all of us tomorrow – overcoming marginalization, and strengthening the country’s opportunities in economic terms and last but not least – social security. Neglecting child development reinforces marginalization, harming us all in the long run. All children must have access to health care, education, childcare, affordable housing and adequate nutrition.
Investing in children’s rights is key to equal opportunities for development. This is relevant for all children, but especially those from vulnerable groups who often fall victim to social exclusion due to poverty, background and reduced physical and mental abilities. Inequality is a social problem, not an individual one. And when measures are taken to support vulnerable groups, it favorably affects not only them, but the entire society and the socio-economic status of the country.
Political instability has offered highly unfavorable conditions for the integration of the national action plan to implement the “European Child Guarantee” in Bulgaria. In order for this initiative to protect the rights of children, a government is needed to implement it. It’s time for children’s rights to be at the top of decision-makers agendas.
