For its 25-year history, the logo of Karin Dom has managed to establish itself as a recognizable and distinctive symbol of the faith of our team and all those who are involved in our mission in the future of children with special needs.

The current logo of Karin Dom was created more than 25 years ago and has won our team with its concept of home, sunny mood and smiles. We want to preserve this identity and develop our vision in accordance with our new goals, aspirations for development and relevance of the visual concept.

25 years of history

Karin Dom Foundation is an organization with 25 years of history and one of the first in Bulgaria to create an alternative model of services for children with special needs and their families. It was founded in 1996. from the diplomat Ivan Stanchov, who attracts and inspires donors and specialists to prove that there are no children that cannot be educated.

The organization is a respected expert institution and has a recognizable visual identity that seeks constant development and innovation. Karin Dom continues to be an innovator in its field and to develop, but remains true to its values ​​and mission. We continue forward as an organization with history, respect and innumerable successes. Our visual identity is intertwined with values, love for children and faith in their future, which we will continue to support. Our logo reflects our faith in the family and the developmental opportunities of all children.

We are building a new therapeutic and training complex in Varna

In 2019 Karin Dom has started its long-standing dream – construction of a new therapeutic and training center in Varna. With its construction Karin Dom reaches the next level of its development and with this changed identity there is a need for an external visual change in sync with the internal change of the organization.

The new building aims to create an environment for early childhood development, knowledge sharing and shared space for families, volunteers and professionals. In the new building we will have the opportunity to offer more services as well as more comprehensive ones for children and families to support their daily lives and inclusion in kindergartens and schools. In one place, under one roof we will be able to offer a complex of services for early support and therapy, a variety of methods to stimulate child development from 0 to 7 years.

We believe in the need for early support and the strength of the family with which we are a strong team.

We believe that Karin Dom should continue to radiate self-confidence and confidence, faith in the future of all children and a sunny mood. We accept every child and every person with a focus on their abilities and potential, not their deficiencies. We believe in the success of children and in their future.

We are an organization that communicates actively and transparently. We love to share achievements, experiences and we never stop dreaming.

Our change is growth, development and active communication with children and their families, parents seeking support and knowledge, with colleagues, partners, donors and volunteers. We run regular advocacy campaigns and work to change policies at the national and international levels. We strive for a change in public attitudes towards children and people with special needs and their fulfilling lives. We respect nature and educate children to love and appreciate it.
