The institutions Agios Stefanos and Theotokos, which serve people with mental and physical disabilities, and the Children's Home in Limassol, were visited today by Deputy Minister of Social Welfare Marilena Evangelou.
During the visits, the Deputy Minister had the opportunity to see the facilities of the institutions and the Children's Home, to talk to the beneficiaries and staff, to be informed about the programmes implemented and to discuss with the boards of directors and employees the challenges they face.
"Quality living, skills development and integration of people with disabilities is a top priority for the Ministry of Social Welfare. Synergies with the state contribute to the expansion of the services provided and the Deputy Ministry looks forward to even closer cooperation with institutions, foundations and non-governmental organisations that offer social work. I am particularly satisfied with my visit today. I saw the residents happy, learned about their rich activities and talked to the officials in relation to everything that can further enhance the services provided."
Ms Evangelou's contacts were part of a series of visits she is currently carrying out to homes and institutions, with the aim of engaging in dialogue and identifying any particular needs that may exist.
