There have been major changes to the Meaalofa Foundation team in Athens since the beginning of this year. We now have an almost completely new team in place. See also the information under About Us/Team. Everything has developed very well. Since the fall, we have established our own Greek NGO, Meaalofa Hellas A.M.K.E., which has taken over the tasks in Athens. It can rent apartments directly and employ staff.
So far, we have mainly accommodated people from Afghanistan and Iran in our housing project. This year we have many new residents, some with children, from Somalia, Sierra Leone and other African countries. We have increasingly taken in young adults who can no longer live in the homes for unaccompanied minors after they have reached the age of eighteen and are therefore in urgent need of accommodation. In addition to providing support in an acute emergency situation, we see our main task as helping them to integrate in Greece.
