The grant regards the purchase of a small van and its transformation in order to make it wheelchair-accessible. Via the Paraplegic Association’s Department of Social Services, the van will serve approximately 200 elderly individuals on a yearly basis. The Department has a specialized social worker and transport services are provided to paraplegic seniors. As a result, disabled individuals are able to visit the hospital, their doctor, or other public sector services. Furthermore, the Association has recently started a care at home program for elderly disabled persons that live in low-income areas of Western Attica. The van will also serve beneficiaries of this care at home program.
