Values Dialogue Responsibility Respect

TULIP FOUNDATION - ANNUAL REPORT 2006 REPORT - ANNUAL TULIP FOUNDATION Participation Transparency  Cooperation In the second year of its existence Tulip Foundation con- tinued working for the implementation of its goals. Guided by our values we encouraged the dialogue and cooperation among partners, organisations whose projects we had sup- ported, local authorities and state institutions. We promot- ed mutual respect and participation of all parties in meetings, projects and events. We aspired to responsibility and transpar- ency in our assessments, decisions and activities.

Tulip Foundation continued and developed the implemen- tation of the Social Transformation Programme in partnership with Co-operating Netherlands Foundations for Central and Eastern Europe and the Small Grants Programme aimed at so- cial initiatives of NGOs in small towns and villages.

Soon after the torrential rains and floods in the spring and summer of 2006 we respond- ed to the difficult situation for many people and organisations with an emergency pro- gramme for additional support to NGOs whose activities were encumbered by the dam- ages caused by the floods.

In the spring we announced the first of its kind Project of the Year Award for non-gov- ernmental organisations working in the social sphere.

This publication presents the work of Tulip Foundation in 2006.

 Cooperating Netherlands Foundations Programme

In 2006 the CNF Programme remained open and flexible with view to the supported activities and groups of people at whom the activities were aimed. The programme remained practical and kept its high expectations for sustainability of the project activities. The funded projects have continued the tendency to support activities aimed at overcoming burning social problems, providing services within the community, adaptation and application of contemporary models and forms of social work. The supported projects answered the needs of people with disabilities; the elderly; homeless young people and young people with addictions; street children; children and young people at risk and those with aggressive behaviour; women and children victims of domestic violence, etc.

The applications received and assessed by the CNF Programme amounted to 68. Twenty projects have been funded with the amount of 336150 Euro. Four of the funded projects are being implemented in Sofia. Five projects are realised in a city or a big town, four in small towns and seven in villages. Eight of the projects offer services planned to reach almost 1000 people with disabilities, 150 of which are children. Around 200 elderly people are receiving care through three of the projects. Three other projects are targeted at young people – over 5000 young people have access to information, consultation and various activities. More than 200 children at risk and more than 300 women and children victims of violence have access to professional support. More than 300 young people who are addicted to drugs or have been in the past, have the opportunity to use professional consultation and therapy and to attend specialised centres. Two of the projects provide services to the community in general. Most of the activities funded through the projects indirectly involve parents, specialists and the local communities.

With the financial support of the programme the following have been started and expanded: two consultation day centres for young people with addictions; a day centre for children with disabilities; two protected houses for people with mental difficulties; two centres for people with disabilities; a residential home for elderly people; crisis centre for women and children victims of violence; a centre for homeless young people and rehabilitation centre for children and young people at risk; an outreach programme for work with youngsters with aggressive behaviour; a day care centre for elderly people; Internet site for literary communication among people with disabilities; a programme in eight villages for home care for elderly people living alone; two information centres providing services to the community and in particular to people with disabilities, children and young people.

The projects focusing on people with disabilities are 5 and 7 other projects are planed and implemented in order to meet the needs of children with disabilities. The Roma population has access to the services offered by 4 of the projects. Women are the core target group 5 of the supported organisations. A total of 21 projects are aimed at the community in general.

More than 85 specialists were involved in the project planning and implementation contributing to the development of their skills and professional capacity. The same can be said about almost 1000 volunteers. The diversity of the ideas, project activities, working approaches, groups of people targeted by the projects is impressing. With the financial support of the Small Grants Programme the following has been achieved: 5 day care centres for children and young people with disabilities started their activities or expanded their existing services, 9 centres for social services and contacts were opened; 3 day centres for people with disabilities started offering services; 4 clubs for elderly people and people with disabilities opened their doors; home care was provided; 2 museum expositions were organised in rural areas; 6 cultural centres were created; 14 programmes for outclass activities for children and young people started as well as environmental and voluntary initiatives, etc. The implementation of these services has been supported with local resources exceeding the equivalent of 12 5000 leva. Municipalities have provided support equivalents to 18000 leva, the local mayor’s offices – more than 6000 leva; partner organisations have contributed 8000 leva. The business has provided more than 6000 leva, the same amount as the leva equivalent of the voluntary work put into the projects.

TULIP FOUNDATION - ANNUAL REPORT 2006 REPORT - ANNUAL TULIP FOUNDATION The main conclusions after the realisation of the Small Grants Programme are: ✔ The successful realisation of the funded projects depends to a considerable extent on the fact that the initiatives and their implementation come from people and organisations based in the community;  ✔ The understanding and the support /not only financial/on the behalf of the local authorities is of extreme importance for the successful implementation and the sustainability of the activities in the future as for their development and expansion; ✔ As a result of the projects the implementing organisations have better equipment and working conditions but what is more important – they have higher capacity and the community has more developed human resources; ✔ In the course of the project implementation /even when it is the first project/ the team of the local organisation acquires skills and confidence which help and encourage them to generate new ideas and to develop other projects as well; ✔ In the effort to solve an urgent problem of the community local capacity is being built which naturally becomes an important 2006 REPORT - ANNUAL TULIP FOUNDATION factor for the future development; ✔ The stereotype that it is difficult to provide local co-funding  Distribution of projects Distribution of projects by location by location

Theatre performance Nashenci

On 15 June the play Nashentzi was performed in the Grand Hall of the National Academy of Theatre and Film Arts with the support of Tulip Foundation. The play is a result of one of the many interesting projects funded by the foundation realised by the Association Help for Children at Risk which works for the integration of children with disabilities through art.

The play is based on texts by two great Bulgarian authors and was performed by children and youngsters with disabilities from the centre Faith, Hope and Love in Pazardjik, their peers from the mainstream school in the village of Patalenitza and students from the Plovdiv University Paisii Hilendarski. Together the young artists continue the old Bulgarian tradition of performing as inseparable part of Renaissance Bulgaria as well as of the process of development of children and young people in modern Bulgaria.
