Few words about Us...
The Association of Parents, Guardians and Friends of People with Disabilities of Piraeus, was founded in 1996, driven by the will to meet the needs of disabled people in the wider region of Piraeus. For this purpose we have established, and operated since 1997, a Centre of Day Care and Creative Activities (Educational Centre for People with Disabilities in Peiraeus-PEK/AmeA), where young men and women, up to 15 years of age, with Mental Retardation are cared. The Centre in housed in a rented building at 27 Aharnon & Dodekanisou St., Kaminia, Peiraeus.
Our objective, through the creative activites and socializing programs, is the smooth intergration and acceptance of disabled adults in the local community and society, in general. Our aim is also their entertainment, the increase of their autonomy and companionship, the boost of their self esteem and parity.
Our dream is our Centre to be accomodated in privately owned premises, suitable for the needs of disabled people. Is also, the better implementation of our current programs and the future establishment and opperation of a modern guest house, for the best application of the Independent Living program for the people with disabilities of our Association, when the family can not or does not exist to provide the lifelong protection they need.
Our programs...
