We are working to help protect some of the most vulnerable...Trafficking is a huge problem. Roma (gypsy) girls are some of the most targeted girls in all the world. Their parents often sell them for the price of a horse. The St. John's Home will be a safe haven for some of these girls where they will not have to worry about this fate.
St. John's Girls' Home Bulgaria is at the center of human trafficking in Europe - It is unfortunately a sending, transporting and destination country. Team Bulgaria wants to do something about that by providing a “Safe House” for at risk girls between the age of 14-18 especially from the Roma (gypsy) villages to prevent them from being trafficked. We want to offer hope through a home where they can finish their education, learn skills to give them proper employment and most of all let them know what real LOVE is. A place to live, learn and understand who they are in Christ!
