Sobre el programa

After facing long years of economic crisis in tandem to the newer refugee crisis and the Covid19 pandemic, Chios Island’s public institutions' infrastructure became poor.
These institutions struggle to find the funding and manpower to undertake important development work. 
Interns use their energy to help improve the facilities of local public institutions such as schools and elderly homes for the local community. Day care centers, elderly homes and schools provide valuable services in the local community and manage to run on minimal resources. 
However at the end of the year there is little money left to maintain the structures themselves, which makes regular maintenance and renovation work an ever more pressing need.
Classrooms and play areas should aid and encourage learning and this is exactly what “Mobility”, aims to achieve through internship programs.
With your help, we can further support Chios’s community and you can do your bit to leave a lasting impact!
