Organization Description:
Emfasis Non-Profit is a privately-funded initiative registered as a Civil Non-Profit Company (Astiki Mi Kerdoskopiki Etairia – AMKE), established in 2013 with the primary objective of restoring the dignity of individuals facing multiple forms of homelessness.
The organization, operating in alignment with the pioneering principles of Social Streetwork, has been steadfastly dedicated to aiding and uplifting people lacking permanent or sufficient housing. This includes offering support to the chronically unemployed, families enduring extreme poverty, isolated elderly individuals teetering on the brink of homelessness and individuals residing in inadequate housing.
The Organization’s Teams, comprising experienced Streetworkers such as psychologists, sociologists, and social workers, are supported by trained Volunteers and 2 Mobile Support Units. Together, they offer humanitarian aid, psychosocial counseling and family support.
At Emfasis Non-Profit we operate independently from governmental or european programs and rely solely on private donations and contributions from companies and foundations.
