KRASIF AID
The charity's main activity is being the principal supporter of the Blue House Hospice and Care Centre in the town of Sliven. There are a number of strategic partnerships with evangelical churches with whom we operate a variety of projects, improving the quality of life. Many of the projects are linked to childrens homes, sheltered homes and institutions for elderly and disabled people.
