The Center of Human Support “THELISIS” is a charitable, non-profit association (Athens Court of First Instance 3064/1995, Tax ID 090249780), founded in 1995 by a group of friends who believed in the need to undertake social action to support the most vulnerable, disadvantaged, and fragile social groups, without discrimination.
Our efforts initially focused on the following areas:
- Cooperation with institutions, organizations, and individuals to provide material and moral assistance where there is proven need.
- A Support Program for impoverished individuals and families.
- Collaboration with the Swiss charitable foundation Limmat Stiftung for the co-financing of programs in Greece and abroad.
The areas we initially served included Perama, Nikaia, Peristeri, Elefsina, as well as families of prisoners in Korydallos prison.
In cooperation with local bodies, we identify their problems and needs and strive, as much as possible, to address them immediately.
Through membership subscriptions, donations, sponsorships, and proceeds from social events, we raise funds to purchase essential medicines, food, basic necessities, and hygiene products.
Our members’ personal connections with senior executives of major well-known companies secure us free products and special low prices for our purchases.
All those working in our Association offer their services voluntarily, which results in minimal operating costs and allows us to allocate our resources to fulfilling our mission.
Gradually, we have expanded our activities and believe that with the awareness and support of new members and sponsors, we will be able to meet even more needs.
