Description
The Kinoniko EKAV (Hellenic Social Welfare Assistant Unit) is an independent social organization aiming at combating any form of social exclusion.
The Kinoniko EKAV aims at reaching out and helping people who have lost the capacity to meet their basic needs by themselves (accommodation, food, health care, etc.), and often even the capacity to ask for help and being in deep desperation. Such groups are, for example, street children, homeless individuals, unaccompanied minor refugees, isolated women, refugees with disabilities, unemployed etc. The objective of the organization is to create a human relationship, which is then used to lead gradually to social reintegration.
