Objective Action

The Voluntary Social project offered by the Charitable, Non-Profit Association "Arogi" since 1995 has one goal: To contribute to the smooth socialization of people with special abilities, to the support of their families, as well as to help our fellow human beings who have a problem of survival.

 

Target Audience

Individuals or families who have a problem of survival, needy patients, and children with special abilities who are employed at the Day Care Center "AROGI", in the Municipality of Acharna, by qualified staff.

 

Duration

From the Foundation of the Association in 1995 until today, we continue our main work, which is to help people who have a problem of survival.


Description

Thanks to the tireless contribution of the Volunteer Group, since 1995 when the Association was founded, a total of 650 families have been strengthened, while today 78 families are helped on a regular basis, supported on a financial and personal level (housing expenses, DEKO payment, living expenses, heating assistance, hospital , medical care, children's education, help for needy students). We do not provide help through the contribution of money, but the volunteers themselves "adopt" needy families and undertake, at the Association's expense, to handle whatever needs they have. We contribute to the smooth socialization of 55 needy people with special abilities, establishing and supporting the operation of the model "AROGI" Day Care Center for the Disabled, in the Municipality of Acharna. We have completed the construction of a guesthouse for permanent accommodation for needy orphans & vulnerable disabled people.

Impact on Society

Since 1995, when the Association was founded, a total of 650 families have been strengthened, while today 78 families are helped on a regular basis, supported on a financial and personal level. At the same time, the Day Care Center for PWDs that we built in the Municipality of Acharna, is a model, unique in its kind and staffed with specialist trainers. It has an Olympic size swimming pool. It hosts 55 disabled children on a daily basis (8.30am-8.00pm), offering them opportunities for creative employment and sports.

We note that the income of the Association, which comes from the annual subscription of the members, the monetary or material donations of companies, friends-supporters of the Association and charitable actions to find resources, is available exclusively for the support of our needy families, as well as for the maintenance of operations of the Day Care Center for the Disabled, which operates under the central supervision of the Municipality of Acharna.

Working with Organization

Continuous cooperation with the Municipality of Acharna.

For the creation of the Day Care Center for the Disabled "AROGI", the Municipality of Acharnon granted the Association a plot of land of 3 acres. The building was built by our Association (cost 1,400,000.00 euros), with the financial contribution of benefactors, donors and sponsoring companies. The Center was handed over to the Municipality of Acharna in 2003, it is operated by the Municipality and we participate in the Board of Directors. to monitor its proper operation.

For the great social project created by our Association, the Hostel for needy orphans & unprotected children with disabilities (cost 1,600,00.00 euros), the Municipality of Acharnon granted us a plot of 1,118 sq.m. The construction of the Guest House was completed with the resources of our Association and with the help of private benefactors. In 2013, the building was handed over, fully equipped, to the Municipality of Acharna. Its operation is delayed due to the bureaucracy of our country. We are in the phase of searching for a community support program for people with disabilities, in order to join and officially start its operation.
