The COVID-19 pandemic has been a challenge for all the people around the world and its consequences are seen throughout a series of issues. Nevertheless, people living below the poverty line are now more vulnerable than ever, facing the devastating impact of this pandemic. In 2023, Emfasis will continue to implement relief programs in order to address the needs of people in homelessness, supporting them through humanitarian aid, counselling and meeting their different individual needs.
Annually Emfasis supports more than 3,100 individuals with more than 20 relief programs. During the last 3 months Emfasis has been able to provide basic necessities, psychological support and perform specially designed shifts in the Attica region. Donors have raised €3,183 through the platform of GlobalGiving, getting a step closer to the goal of €4,654. As reported in the previous report, this amount has contributed towards support provided to people in direct need of survival items, especially during the Christmas period as well as the harsh winter conditions.
At this moment, Emfasis is preparing for the next months, when support programs and special emergency relief shifts will take place to aid homeless people in the region of Attica. Further, due to the unprecedented energy crisis and the rising cost of living, our Streetwork teams encounter increasing numbers of homeless people or people on the verge of eviction, who are in desperate need of support.
With the threat of another wave of COVID-19 lingering and the consequences of the ongoing situation in place, Emfasis will continue to aid people in a state of street or impending homelessness, especially in such precarious conditions.
With your support, our dedicated teams of certified volunteers will keep on their efforts to impact positively the quality of life of thousands of people, conducting their mission with the utmost respect and discretion for the vulnerable.
