Emfasis Non-Profit presents the "Mobile Life" programme one year after the devastating floods that hit Thessaly. This initiative is being launched in collaboration with the TIMA Charitable Foundation, Ayvens, Desmos Non-Profit, and Itamos Mouzaki Non-Profit Organization.

This project aims not only to provide immediate relief to those affected but also to rejuvenate local communities still grappling with the aftermath of the natural disaster.

The Mission of "Mobile Life"

"Mobile Life" is a mobile humanitarian aid unit specifically designed to offer ongoing support to areas in need.

The initiative focuses on three core pillars:

1. Food Aid
   Distributing essential food supplies to combat food insecurity of many families.
2. Public Health Promotion
   Providing medical supplies, equipment, and other necessities to local health centers.
3. Psychosocial Support
   Offering counseling and empowerment to families and individuals facing emotional and psychological challenges due to the disaster.

This initiative integrates Emfasis' extensive expertise in Social Streetwork and the flexibility of its mobile units, delivering support directly to vulnerable groups where it is most needed.

Social Responsibility in Action

The "Mobile Life" programme goes beyond temporary aid. Instead, it invests in Thessaly's future by enhancing community cohesion and cultivating hope for a brighter future.

“Our goal is to be meaningfully present in the lives of those who have been severely tested. 'Mobile Life' is a tool of solidarity and regeneration,” stated Maria Karra, co-founder of Emfasis Non-Profit.

The success of "Mobile Life" depends on collective effort. With the support of citizens, businesses, and organizations, we can offer even more to the people of Thessaly striving to rebuild their lives.
