hope for the little ones

On December 18, 2024, the pediatric department of Elin Pelin Hospital announced the launch of the Firefly project - another step towards creating a hospital environment that not only heals, but also brings peace and warmth. The initiative, organized by the For Good Foundation, will be implemented in partnership with the Elin Pelin Municipality, Elin Pelin Hospital and the local community.

The mission of Project Firefly

The project aims to modernize and improve the environment in children's hospital wards, combining functionality, comfort and aesthetics. The main focus is on creating a healing atmosphere that puts the child and his best interest at the center of attention. This transformation will ensure better quality care for patients and improve working conditions for medical staff.

What's coming up?

The Pediatrics Department at Elin Pelin Hospital will be completely transformed. Thanks to the joint efforts of the Elin Pelin Municipality, which is committing 100,000 leva, Elin Pelin Hospital and the local community, part of the necessary funding has already been secured. The For Good Foundation will finance the architectural project and will actively work to raise the remaining funds.

Vision for the new department

After the renovation, the department will offer modern and comfortable conditions for its patients and their families. The changes include:

Renovation of patient rooms, treatment room, reception area and office spaces.
Creating a waiting room and setting up a special play area - a space that will bring joy and smiles to the children.
Furnishing kitchenettes equipped with a refrigerator, microwave oven and hot water kettle to ensure the comfort of patients and their companions.
Interior improvements including companion beds, new furniture, cozy duvets, fun wall decorations, and lighting that creates a relaxing atmosphere.

Expansion and modernization

"Elin Pelin Hospital" will expand the area of the ward by incorporating adjacent premises. The total area of about 250 sq.m. will be increased to provide more space and functionality. In addition, the oxygen and vacuum installations, as well as the plumbing system, will be modernized.

The total cost of the project amounts to approximately 465,000 BGN. After successful fundraising, preparatory and renovation activities will start in the spring of 2025. During the renovation, the ward will be temporarily relocated to ensure that young patients continue to receive care without interruption.

Opportunity to participate

The Firefly Project is an example of the power of unity between the non-governmental sector, the local community, business, the municipality and the hospital. It demonstrates that together we can achieve significant changes for the sake of children.
