Employment without Exclusion!
HYGEIA has opened a new social chapter over the last few years. It involves a social economy project that primarily aims at limiting social exclusion and reintroducing socially excluded individuals to society. Another objective of the project is to develop volunteer actions and reduce the ecological footprint of the Group.
It is paper recycling project in partnership with the NGO Klimaka and the limited liability social enterprise Klimax Plus, and HYGEIA employs a full-time employee for it.
Klimaka is an NGO that was created by a team of mental health professionals and tries to expand human and social development. By carrying out interventions in the areas of health, welfare, employment and financial development, it aims to achieve social integration of socially excluded individuals and groups. Through the paper recycling project, the NGO processes all the paper it receives until it reaches the end recipient, i.e. the paper mill that buys it. All revenues from paper sales and other grants are used to cover the expenses of the project, create jobs for socially excluded individuals entering the project, but also financially support the NGO’s day center and homeless shelter, which receive many guests daily.
