International Friends of ELEPAP, Inc.
About us
Our Vision
A community where all children and young people have opportunities to be the best they can be.
Our Objectives
To promote social integration for individuals with physical disabilities in Greece and to facilitate the operation of ELEPAP’s Rehabilitation Centers in Greece.
International Friends of ELEPAP (“IFELEPAP”) is the fundraising arm in the United States for ELEPAP Greece. In 1937 an inspired group of people in Athens, who believed that disabled children were entitled to have comprehensive rehabilitation services, founded ELEPAP. Today ELEPAP operates six centers throughout Greece with the sole purpose of making this service available to all in need.
ELEPAP is the first non-profit organization specialised in helping disabled children since 1937, and has served over 100,000 children throughout the country, giving equal opportunities for smooth social integration. ELEPAP enables disabled children to live in their own homes and communities.
What's new,
Our Brave Ones
ELEPAP offers a series of programs of holistic intervention for children from infancy to school age. It constantly monitors international scientific developments, organizes and participates in scientific conferences and fora, ensuring in this way that it adheres to international standards, adopts and implements the latest methods of treatment.
To achieve our objective of facilitating and supporting the operations of ELEPAP Rehabilitation for the Disabled Centers in Greece, we will be hosting a series of events aimed at raising awareness about ELEPAP's work in the field of treating disability, promoting social integration and providing space for both civic and scientific work.
