Griechische Welle Wien

Info

Greece, a very popular tourist destination in the midst of Europe, has been suffering heavily under the austerity program and economic reforms imposed by the EU. Large amounts of people have lost the ability to earn a livelihood, many have lost their homes, many no longer have access to healthcare. We want to help these people.

Hellinicon

The Metropolitan Social Clinic Hellinicon Athens was supplied with six palettes of badly needed medicines by ourselves in May 2018.

AMEA Chania

We intend to renovate a desolate wing (plastering and painting the walls) for AMEA,
a support center for people with additional needs, which was supplied with various
medical items by ourselves in the past. These works will be carried out in cooperation
with friendly societies in Crete.

The Social Clinic KIFAX in Chania, which is taking medical care of 400 - 500 residents without
insurance on an ongoing basis, as well as 70 acknowledged refugees, continuously needs
various medicines. Tourists can also support KIFAX bz supplying donations in kind.
Our member Vera will coordinate this campaign.
