KEPAKY supports refugees and war victims through emergency language-learning programs, distribution of essential goods, and the operation of a kindergarten and an all-day elementary school for Ukrainian refugee children, fully covering all operational costs.
As an independent volunteer group, KEPAKY is able to respond rapidly to global crises. The Foundation provides support to refugees and war victims regardless of nationality, offering emergency Greek and English language programs both in-person and online.
Following the outbreak of the war in Ukraine in 2022, KEPAKY immediately mobilized to support incoming refugee families by providing food and clothing on a monthly basis. The Foundation expanded this effort by establishing a kindergarten and an all-day primary school in Ayia Napa for Ukrainian refugee children, enabling parents to work while their children learn in a safe environment.
Program Features
The program ensures stability, education, and care for refugee children while supporting families’ integration and livelihood in Cyprus.
KEPAKY’s Psychological Support Program provides free individual sessions and experiential workshops for children, adolescents, and adults facing social, emotional, or family difficulties.
“A Hand to Youth” promotes the value of volunteering among young people by offering vouchers for food, clothing, and footwear to children and youth facing difficult conditions during Christmas and Easter. Since 2012, more than 3,500 families have been supported with €500,000 in aid.
KEPAKY addresses the prevention of substance use through initiatives such as the 2009 KEPAKY Basketball Camp, educational workshops, and parent-focused lectures, supporting healthy youth development and community awareness.
The “Yellow Line of Help and Solidarity” is one of KEPAKY’s signature programs, launched in 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic to support individuals and families facing socio-economic hardship. What began as a volunteer initiative under exceptional circumstances has evolved into a lifeline for thousands of households across Cyprus, offering food assistance, essential goods, and free psychological and social support.
