The Greek Shipping social welfare programme supports centers providing care and assistance to vulnerable groups in society that have been adversely affected by the severe economic crisis, paying particular attention to families that have suffered from the crisis, women, children and people with disabilities living in deprived conditions.
The support programme for social welfare organizations has targeted foundations, social services, health clinics and centers for the protection of infants, children, adolescents, disabled and the elderly. Such organizations have been performing a valuable service for many years and require additional support in the midst of the financial crisis, to continue offering protection and assistance to the most vulnerable groups in society.
Thus a series of actions were implemented to help cover basic monthly operational needs. The organizations were supported through the provision of heating oil, basic monthly supplies such as food and personal hygiene items as well as infrastructure upgrade works or the provision or necessary equipment according to requirements.
The following organizations were included in the social welfare actions:
