The\u00a0Athens Solidarity Center\u00a0was inaugurated on 19th of March 2015 – following the opening of Solidarity Center in Thessaloniki a year ago.

\nKey objective of SolidarityNow behind the rollout of Solidarity Centers in Athens and Thessaloniki is to support those most in need, in the midst of crisis by taking initiatives that can generate a broad and positive impact for people and Greek society. The Athens Solidarity Center constitutes an initiative of the Open Society Foundations and SolidarityNow: it is\u00a0funded by the countries of Norway, Iceland and Lichtenstein (European Economic Area (EEA) Grants) and is operating in collaboration with the Municipality of Athens.<\/p>\n

According to the operating framework of the Solidarity Centers, the Athens Solidarity Center offers space to new and existing civil society organizations in Greece, facilitating community solutions to pressing social and economic problems. The Center addresses the unique needs of local communities it operates within and caters to all regardless of their nationality, religion, origins and social status.<\/p>\n

Within this context, the newly inaugurated center\u00a0cooperates with four NGOs<\/strong>: PRAKSIS<\/strong><\/a>,\u00a0<\/strong>ARSIS<\/strong><\/a>,\u00a0<\/strong>Together for Children<\/strong><\/a>, <\/strong>and\u00a0the Network for Children\u2019s Rights<\/strong>\u00a0<\/a>offering support to vulnerable groups, including\u00a0children and adolescents, elderly, sick, migrants, and asylum seekers.<\/p>\n
