19 years ago, it was possible to build a house for the Sisters of Mother Teresa in Thessaloniki (Greece) thanks to a generous donor from the Limmat Foundation. The house can accommodate up to ten sisters and consists of a kitchen as well as a dining room. There are also rooms for women persecuted and homeless. It currently provides accommodation for up to eight women and girls in emergency situations for maximum three months. Afterwards, a solution is sought with the social authorities.

This year, the Limmat Foundation financed renovations and a representative visited the home on site. On a daily basis, the seven sisters currently living there cook for those in need. Neighbours and companies deliver basic food for free every day, which the sisters use to cook for the people in need. Anyone who is hungry and has no other option is invited to eat. On the day of the visit by an employee of the Limmat Foundation, the nuns had cooked for 53 people. Their humility and joy in supporting the people in need is exemplary.

The Limmat Foundation is delighted to see how the project has been bearing fruit for 19 years and helping many women in need. Best wishes to the sisters and many more fulfilling moments!
