“Together for Children”

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

The Association provides assistance to more than 30,000 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 order to directly impact young people and families most effectively, “Together for Children” actively practices its philosophy “power through unity” through harmonious cooperation and collaborations with over 200 child protection organizations nationwide.

In 2016, “Together for Children” 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".
