Supporting the operation of the NGO “Mission ANTHROPOS”

The NGO “Mission ANTHROPOS” provides medical services to individuals or populations in need. In 2020, with its programme “We support – Medical care for all”, it offered personalised coverage of medical needs to children and adults, while its programme “WOMENTORS: Empowering Young Women” promoted the empowerment of young women, by means of training and capacity building activities for their increased engagement and participation in decision-making. In addition, “Mission ANTHROPOS” implemented the programme “We offer – Smiles to Children”, which offered preventive dental checks and dental treatments to 500 children of vulnerable groups, as well as the initiative “We care – For the Elderly”, offering medical supplies for the protection of the elderly and their carers in Nursing Homes. Bodossaki Foundation acknowledges the important contribution of the organization and supports its activity by helping cover its operating expenses.

In their own words:
