Zoodohos Pigi functions both as a foundation granting donations and as a nonprofit organization designing and implementing programs. Mousikoparea Music Therapy Program was launched as a pilot program in July 2016 and involves the provision of music therapy sessions to care homes. Music therapy is an evidence-based clinical intervention that addresses the cognitive, emotional, physical, mental and social needs of the elderly.
Program Expansion

Each of the 7 additional care homes is located in a different city – Attica, Thessaloniki, Patra, Edessa, Lefkada, Syros, Crete. The therapists chosen are unemployed professionals. Music therapy students also attend the sessions in order to gain valuable exposure to the benefits of music therapy.
