In Katerini, Greece, the Children’s Protection Association "Benjamin" has, since 1994, provided uninterrupted care, protection and a sense of safety to orphans and children growing up in difficult or at‑risk conditions by combining material aid from a local Food Bank, clothing and back-to-school kits with counseling and psychological support for children and their families. Their monthly sponsorship program helps children remain in their family environment and this steady mix of practical help and family-strengthening care turns fragile days into safer childhoods and real chances to learn and thrive.
