The tenth edition of the charity initiative Donation Days started in Bulgaria today. In an interview with BNR, Viktoria Georgieva from the "Mothers for Donation" foundation said that it is officially known that 70,000 families in Bulgaria need donors, in order to have children.

However, the number is probably bigger, as in small settlements a stigma exists on the topic and some families do not dare to sign up for the procedure. According to Georgieva, there is still not enough available information on the topic in Bulgaria. She adds that Bulgaria holds one of the last places in terms of egg donation, but progress is being marked and at the moment there are over 4,500 donors.
