“We don’t ignore the elderly, we support them” Program

 

The grant regards the expansion of the program, “We don’t ignore the Elderly, we support them” that had received funding from “Points of Support” in 2016. The 12-month program aims to meet the needs of approximately 35 senior citizens who live on the streets in the greater area of Piraeus. The program entails the psychosocial support of senior elderly citizens, as well as the legal-accounting advisory of any pending matters that may be holding them back from moving on with their lives. Additionally, the beneficiaries will be aided in dealing with their legal and accounting issues so that they can receive social welfare benefits. The continuous psychological strengthening of the elderly persons who live on the street, the reduction of the sense of abandonment and isolation from society and enhancement of their self-respect, are all additional goals of the program.
