- Foreslået løsning: Ithaca provides support for the homeless through a simple but powerful activity: washing their clothes to bolster dignity and self-esteem. The organization has developed a mobile laundry platform that operates in prominent areas of the city, allowing for easy regular access to the service.
- Samfundseffekt: 'Since April 2016 we have been providing social services with dedication in order to ensure proper hygiene conditions for people in need. The main goal of our work is the social reintegration of individuals from vulnerable population groups. Through the operation of the mobile laundry at different but stable spots in Athens and Piraeus we are able to provide hygiene services to the homeless, so as to restore their dignity and self-esteem. Alongside, since January 2017 we have created part-time jobs for people from vulnerable social groups. By employing them for a specific time period and providing them with certain skills, such as work, counseling and guidance, we aim at their reintegration in both work and social life.''
