Sis n Bro was created during a lively family discussion on the problem of homelessness in Greece and the needs of people living on the streets or in extreme poverty. One of the things we talked about was that socks are the item homeless people need most, because people don’t give them away..

Conversations like this usually end with the question “What can you do?” That day, we actually answered the question. We decided to act!

We talked to public, municipal and non-profit organizations, shelters, charities, and small community groups to find out how we could help.

And one of the things we learned is that socks are actually the item homeless people need the most. We also learned that, unfortunately, not much research has been done into homelessness Greece. Nevertheless, people who do not have a home and live on the street or below the poverty line are a reality we witness often in urban centers and beyond.
