Overview
Since the peak of the migration crisis in 2015, AMURTEL has worked to create safe women’s spaces for highly vulnerable refugee/migrant mothers and infants from pregnancy through two years after birth. Our all-women team of midwives, lactation consultants, and support personnel provide care in our day center and in refugee camps, shelters, and other refugee accommodations in the wider Athens area. AMURTEL aims to mitigate the long-term effects of crises on refugee and migrant infants and their mothers by supporting women to be the best possible mothers they can be and thus giving their infants the best possible start in life.
Women coming to AMURTEL are primarily from Middle Eastern and African countries. Our social and medical services are offered in Farsi, Arabic, French, and English.
