Together, we embrace them

The Situation

One million children have been forced to flee Ukraine, according to data released by UNICEF, seeking refuge in neighboring countries such as Poland, Hungary, Slovakia, Moldova and Romania. Greece has also welcomed thousands of refugee children according to the Greek Ministry of Labor and Social Affairs, accompanied by their mothers, a female neighbour, relative, or family friend.

The Greek-Ukrainian community representatives and authorities expect the number of refugees to increase as the war continues.

The Need: Creation of a Refugee Shelter

At “Together for Children”, we aim to create a shelter for these children and their mothers and/or companions who fled to Greece, and provide them with accommodations, food, basic necessities, counseling, psychological support, and education. 

The refugee shelter is located in the center of Athens, with a capacity of 20 individuals. The cost for the equipment and operation of the shelter is estimated to be € 150,000 for a period of 6 months.

Our goal

With your support, our initial goal is to raise € 50,000 for our shelter for 20 individuals, children and refugee mothers from Ukraine.

The Association

Founded in 1996, in Greece, “Together for Children” (TFC) is a non-profit Association comprised of nine member organizations that work in the field of child welfare. 

TFC provides assistance to thousands of children in need on an annual basis – irrespective of race, religion and political conviction-  facing poverty, social exclusion, domestic violence, chronic diseases, mental or physical disabilities or the sickness or death of an immediate family member.

In cooperation with other international organizations, the Association and its members are pioneers in the development and exchange of good practices as well as the promotion of scientific research concerning children and young people in need. The services offered at their facilities on a non-profit basis are of high quality and frequently serve as case studies in their field.

In 2016, TFC was honored with the Silver Medal of the Academy of Athens for its social contribution, while in 2019 it received a BRAVO Award for engaging with thousands of citizens in support of its initiative "Equal opportunities for children: Actions for Health and Education in remote areas of Greece".
