Volunteer for Christmas Bazaars

Organization Description:
Our Charity is engaged in the prevention of children’s accidents and in improving the care of injured children in Greece. Our goal is to reduce the number of children’s accidents, ensure the immediate and proper treatment of injured children, upgrade the hospital care provided to children in our country. According to the statistics of the Hospitals and Health Centers equipped by “Pedtrauma”, from 2010 up to the present date more than 2.990.000 children have benefitted from our Charity’s work. In 2024, 525.300 children passed through the Trauma Centers and the Paediatric Departments equipped by “Pedtrauma”. How we implement our work: a) We have upgraded, renovated, and equipped 45 Trauma Centers, where the injured child is immediately admitted and stabilised without losing valuable time. b) Our main program focuses on equipping Public Hospitals and Health Centers throughout Greece. To date, we have equipped 152 Departments in 127 Hospitals and Health Centers with 1.871 machines and necessary equipment. In this way, we significantly improve the quality of care that children receive in critical moments. c) The “Education on Trauma Prevention” Program, through presentations and educational materials, informs children, parents, and teachers about the most common risks that can cause accidents, providing guidance on how to protect children at home, at school, and in outdoor spaces. Our presentations on Trauma Prevention have been attended by 68.412 children and 3.508 teachers and parents. d) The Charity supports the training of medical and nursing staff, as well as Ambulance paramedics, through the Medical Education Program “Leonidas Georgopoulos”. To date, 2.454 doctors, nurses, and Ambulance paramedics have been trained. The training focuses on the assessment, resuscitation, and stabilization of children at risk and is delivered through seminars organised by A.P.L.S. Hellas and A.P.L.S. Crete, which we partially fund.
