Fayi – Free Market
Fayi – Food Aid Network started as a strong alliance of organisations in Attica: Steps AMKE, Vasilika Moon, Action for Women, Aletheia RCS, One Bridge To Idomeni, Hope Cafe Athens, Emantes – International Lgbtqia+ Solidarity, Christian Refugee Relief – CRR and Space Eye. These organisations have come together with one mission: to provide food to those living below the poverty line.
Recent challenges, such as the rising cost of living, have increased the urgency of our action. With more people at risk of poverty and social exclusion, we are called upon to adapt, but also to step up our efforts to meet the growing demand for assistance.
This is why we created a new space in the centre of Athens, where, along with the management of our database, we introduced a free market model, allowing beneficiaries to choose nutritious food and hygiene products that suit their preferences and needs.
Through a six-month period of support, our project addresses the immediate need for food while enhancing autonomy and self-sufficiency.
