Athens Medical Outreach

Helping people survive and recover from forced displacement

IAFR ASSISTs refugees and asylum seekers in athens WITH MEDICAL CARE.

The Need

Asylum seekers and refugees in Athens often find it difficult to access basic medical care. Their long journey to Greece from distant war zones and oppression is filled with danger. They are often exposed to abuse, disease, malnutrition, contaminated water as well as to prolonged stress and uncertainty. Once in Greece, they find the medical system overburdened and refugees overlooked. Life in camps and overcrowded apartments includes heightened vulnerabilities and more uncertainty and stress.

The Strategy

IAFR partners with One Heart, a Greek agency providing medical clinics and assistance for refugees and asylum seekers in the greater Athens area.

We have two missionaries serving with One Heart. We are also privileged to serve as a financial partner supporting this important work.
