AMAMÉ Initiative

🤝 Working Together for Mothers and Babies

Over the past few months, we have been meeting regularly with a network of incredible organizations coordinated by the amazing team of Christian Refugee Relief - CRR Together, we are exploring practical ways to strengthen collaboration and improve support for vulnerable mothers and their babies across Athens.

One of our current joint initiatives is the development of a coordinated diaper distribution system. The goal is simple but powerful: to reach more mothers, distribute resources more efficiently, increase the availability of diapers, and reduce the burden on women who often have to visit multiple organizations just to receive a few essential items.

Our most recent meeting was hosted at our space, and it was inspiring to sit together with so many dedicated women and organizations working tirelessly to find solutions for the everyday needs of mothers and babies.

A huge thank you to all the organizations involved in this effort:
🚼 Christian Refugee Relief
🚼 Victoria Community Center
🚼
🚼 The Congolese Church Community
🚼 CRIBS International
🚼 Love & Serve Without Boundaries
🚼

And a very special thank you to Anna from LSWB, who has generously volunteered her time and expertise to create an amazing tracking app for this initiative!

Watch this space!💜

Yesterday was a very busy day at our center and a truly special one! 💛

We are so grateful to receive two incredible donation. Christian Refugee Relief - CRR delivered their monthly support of diapers, wipes, and essential supplies for our mothers. On top of that, they coordinated the transport of a huge pallet all the way from Samos Island, filled with clothes, blankets, socks, shoes, and so much more for our free shop, donated by Samos Volunteers!

Thanks to great teamwork, we managed to unload and bring everything up to the first floor quickly and efficiently. Of course, we couldn’t avoid a few impatient (and unfortunately racist) comments from passing drivers, but sadly, that’s part of the reality we face.

A huge thank you to Christian Refugee Relief for making this possible, and to Samos Volunteering for your generosity and open hearts! 🙏
