MdM France in Bulgaria is actively working in Bulgaria since 2004 with initial focus on a Roma neighbourhood in Sliven targeting SRH and health education. The scope of the operation was widened to cover environmental health and psychosocial support to children, as well as other topics (poverty, administrative registration, etc.), which enhanced the outreach to other groups suffering from discrimination in Bulgaria.
MdM Belgium in Croatia is active since 2016 working with asylum seekers (asylum seekers reception centers in Zagreb and Kutina) but also since 2019 with Roma population in Međimurje County and from last year with Ukrainian refugees (with opening of MED-info center in Zagreb).
