Children First

In a world where no child should have to choose between a meal, a doctor’s visit, or an education, Children First (Πρώτα το Παιδί) stands as a bridge of hope for families living at risk of poverty in Greece.

Through its three core pillars — Nutrition, Education, and Medical Care — the organization ensures that every child receives the essentials they need to grow strong, healthy, and confident. Daily meals are tailored to each child’s needs in collaboration with a nutritionist, while educational support, language lessons, and sports activities help nurture both body and mind. At the same time, pediatric and dental care guarantee that no child’s health is left to chance.

But Children First doesn’t stop there. Recognizing that empowered families raise empowered children, the organization also offers parental counseling from psychologists, helping parents take an active role in their children’s wellbeing.

In partnership with the Municipality of Egaleo, Children First currently supports 19 children between the ages of 3 and 17, providing them with nutritious meals, medical monitoring, English lessons, and extracurricular opportunities. An additional 21 children receive ongoing nutritional assistance. Initiatives such as “Girls Empowering Girls”, designed for single-mother families, further highlight the organization’s commitment to building confidence and independence in young lives.

At its heart, Children First envisions a community built on kindness, solidarity, and trust, where everyone can play a part in creating change, whether by offering time, skills, or financial support.
