“HOPe SOAP” now available at “Bread House” in Geo Milev Park in Sofia

The soap, which is made by disadvantaged young people, is attracting the attention of customers at the bakery for traditional bread

Starting this week, handmade “HOPe SOAPS”, products of the Foundation for Social Change and Inclusion’s (FSCI) Social Enterprise Programme, can be found at “Nadezhko” Bread House in Sofia (str.12 Beethoven, Geo Milev Park). The handmade soaps tempt the bakery’s customers with their fresh colours, shapes and wide variety of aromas.

HOPe Soap is now available at this bakery as a result of a partnership between the network of Bread Houses and the FSCI, under the title “Innovative approach in combining social services and entrepreneurship– Centre Opportunity”. In addition to the production of soaps, the groups at Social Centre “Opportunity” are being trained in basic skills for independent living.

Earlier this month, representatives of the donor organisation EEA Grants and the operators of the project personally visited the Social Centre to get acquainted with the project and the activities included in it, and congratulated the team for their dedication and innovative approach to social services for disadvantaged young people and people at risk of poverty.
