We founded the Alliance for Children and Youth in 2002 in order to build on the experiences and achievements of our Street Children Program which began in 1993. The mission of the Alliance is to protect the rights of children and youths on the street in accordance with the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, and to contribute to ensuring decent conditions for these children’s overall development and re-integration into society. |

In recent years, drug abuse has become one of the most serious social problems in Bulgaria; the number of addicted people has exceeded 100,000. It is even more alarming that the average age for youth starting to abuse heroin has fallen to 15-16 years of age and is even lower for marihuana and other ‘soft’ drugs. |

In the more than 15 years since the fall of communism, Bulgarian society has failed to make an adequate assessment of its recent past (the term is used to refer to the period from the 1940s to the changes in 1989 and the subsequent period of transition), and for this reason it has been unable to draw the appropriate conclusions or establish the proper basis for its future development.
