More than 200 families have already benefited from our services in terms of education, therapy, counselling and support. At present “Amimoni” is providing its services for 90 individuals, aged between infants and 45-year-old adults.

Our programmes
With our constant efforts to identify the needs of people directly and indirectly benefiting from our services and by our setting goals which we closely monitor, we have achieved to bring contentment not only to people benefiting from our services, but also to people working with us or offering their support to us.
In 2005, in collaboration with the Department of Statistics of the University of Piraeus, we contributed to the collection of data regarding Multiply Disabled Visually Impaired People on a Panhellenic scale.
In 2006, we fostered and contributed to the foundation of the Parents’ Association of Multiply Disabled Visually Impaired Children in Thessaloniki. We also encouraged the foundation of the Association’s Day Care in Kalamaria, Thessaloniki, in 2018, offering training, counselling and supervision to its staff.
