During the first week of December, as part of the Volunteer Week, the staff of CySEC organized a clothing collection campaign and collected basic needs' items to help those in need. The items gathered were made available through the Cyprus Red Cross, to meet the needs of 345 refugees, including 52 children, who had come to Cyprus from Syria and who were accommodated in Kokkinotrimithia. The other items were given to a private children's shelter, the "House of Hope" created by the organization "Hope for Children" UNCRC Policy Centre (HFC) with the approval, financing and close cooperation of the Social Welfare Services and the European Refugee Fund. This children's shelter operates for unaccompanied minors, aged from 5 years to 18 years old who have been abused and provides daily care and psychosocial and legal support to minors by specialized personnel to assist in their integration, rehabilitation and finding viable solutions for children.
