The Pammakaristos Children's Foundation is a N.P.I.D., non-profit, especially charitable, that offers special education and welfare services to children and youth with autism and mental disabilities and other social deficits, since 1978 which was officially recognized by the Prefecture of Eastern Attica. The "PAMAKARISTOS" Children's Foundation is the evolution of the "PAMAKARISTOS Children's Fields", which were originally founded in 1945 by the Catholic Archdiocese of Athens.
It is based on real property of the "Holy Monastery of PAMAKARISTO THEOTOKOU" which includes buildings of 6,000 sq.m. on a total area of twenty acres.
The "PAMAKARISTOS" Children's Foundation is managed by a seven-member, unpaid Board of Directors proposed by the Council of the Reverend Sisters of the "Holy Monastery of PAMAKARISTOS THEOTOKOU" and appointed by a decision of the Municipal Council of the Municipality of Marathon-Neas Makris.
The social needs to support all people who are disadvantaged and in need of help, due to serious social and educational/educational difficulties, became the central philosophy and the main purpose of the Foundation, from the very beginning.
CANDIA supports the foundation's work by donating 20 mattresses for the needs of the structure.
