Urban Poverty in Bulgaria: Rebuilding Roma Slums in Targovishte

Find out about our micro-lending programme to rebuild Roma slums in Targovishte and help tackle urban poverty in Bulgaria. 🔨SUBSCRIBE 🔨 for more stories from our volunteers and our work to bring safe, decent homes to the most vulnerable worldwide.
Malcho Malchev is settlement of 4,000 people on the outskirts of Targovishte. Our pilot project in Bulgaria trains housing mediators to help families in need obtain microfinancing and affordable construction materials so that they can renovate their homes and create healthy housing environments where their children can thrive.
This is Svetla. And this is the house that Svetla built. Like many Roma people in Bulgaria, when Svetla and her husband got married they didn’t have any money and they didn’t have anywhere to live. So they built somewhere. But not being builders or engineers they improvised.

If you had gone further inside, you would have seen those in worse condition, they are in better condition than the others, I lived there too, and there was a place you didn't show

These subtitles are horrible. Half of the things the people said in this video were taken out of context.

As a Bulgarian myself I can safely say that 40% is extremely exaggerated
