The COVID-19 pandemic has been a challenge for all the people around the world and its consequences are still seen throughout a series of issues. In 2023, Emfasis continues 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 3,200 individuals with more than 20 relief programs, while the hours of volunteer work amount to more than 3,800. During the last 3 months Emfasis has been able to provide basic necessities, psychological support and perform 53 specially designed shifts in the Attica region. Donors have raised €3,666 through the platform of GlobalGiving, getting a step closer to the goal of €5,000. As reported in the previous report, this amount has contributed towards support provided to people in direct need of survival items, especially during the Easter period.
At this moment, Emfasis is preparing for the summer period, when support programs and special emergency relief shifts will take place to aid homeless people in the region of Attica against the upcoming heatwaves. 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.
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.
