Benefits for Οrganization

There are multiple benefits. Firstly, in a very difficult period for the greek society, the organisation manages to stay active by succeeding a project of approximatily 1,000,000 euros. With this project, the organisation acquired a substuntial experience which can be used in future projects. Our connection with municipality's vulnerable groups gave us inspiration for new projects, it showed us many ways in order to sensitise more volunteers and to create a net of service for those people.
