We have four programmes directing all our activities:
1. Community Empowerment Mobilisation: Our various activities are directed at children, youth, women, and men, with a particular focus on vulnerable groups such as women, children, and unaccompanied minors. We use a community-based approach, involving beneficiaries in our programmes as much as possible in the planning, implementation, and monitoring and evaluation of activities. This helps us to better develop activities according to needs and increase ownership of activities and strengthen community networks.
2.Integration: Our aim is to support displaced persons’ integration in Greek society and improve their professional development. With increased knowledge about Greek society, more people can access resources and training, and find work and housing. We organise employability workshops and coordinate with relevant actors, connecting beneficiaries to already existing employment-related programmes. Our activities are: Info Hub, Interview Preparation and Employability Support
3.Non-formal Education: We aim to support displaced persons in accessing formal education and to promote their employability and integration in their host society. Our activities are: English classes, Greek classes and Computer classes
4.Humanitarian Aid: We work to ensure that displaced persons’ needs are met in a dignified manner. We assess the situation on each site and act according to demand. Our teams distribute and improve access to food, clothing, winter equipment, and hygiene items, and contribute to better health and well-being through activities both inside and outside refugee camps. Our activities are: Baby pack distribution, Diaper distribution, Food distribution, Open access to hygiene and sexual and reproductive health items, Seasonal clothes distribution, Emergency response distributions, Laundry services.
