The Deputy Minister of Social Welfare, Ms. Marilena Evaggelou, visited the institutions of Agios Stefanos and Theotokos, which serve individuals with intellectual and physical disabilities, as well as the Children’s Shelter in Limassol.
As part of the visits, the Deputy Minister had the opportunity to tour the facilities of the Institutions and the Children’s Shelter, engage in discussions with the beneficiaries and staff, become informed about the implemented programs, and hold discussions with the administrative boards and employees regarding the challenges they face.
“The quality of life, skill development, and integration of Persons with Disabilities constitute the highest goal for the Ministry of Social Welfare. Collaborations with the state contribute to the expansion of provided services, and the Ministry anticipates an even closer collaboration with organizations, institutions, and non-governmental organizations that offer social work. I am particularly pleased with my visit today. I saw the residents happy, learned about their rich activities, and conversed with the staff about everything that can further enhance the services provided.”
“Ms. Evaggelou’s contacts were part of a series of visits she is conducting during this period to various facilities and institutions, aiming to facilitate dialogue and identify specific needs that may exist.”
