accommodation centers for refugee and migrant children
We are operating two accommodation centers for a total number of 70 refugee and migrant children in Ioannina and Kastoria, under the ERAcUMiC project implemented by Iliaktida and IOM Greece! ERAcUMiC project is funded by the European Union - AMIF.
social integration of PwD and vulnerable groups
Iliaktida continues supporting people with disabilities andother vulnerable groups in the effort for social integration. Support of local vulnerable groups is even more important now so as to guard against racist incidents due to the support enjoyed by migrant populations
integration activities for refugees
As more POCs receive refugee status and will remain in Greece it is imperative to support their smooth integration into the local community and economy. Iliaktida is piloting concepts for sustainable integration but funding is scarce right now.
