On 23 April 2025, a foster family from SOS Children's Village Tryavna welcomed an unaccompanied 10-year-old from Syria seeking international protection in Bulgaria. This marks the first time in the past 10 years that the SAR has placed an unaccompanied asylum-seeking minor with a Bulgarian foster family rather than in institutional care.
