The Child Rehabilitation Support Program is tailored to support children with special needs. The program operates across Cyprus through established specialised centres in Nicosia, Larnaca, Limassol, and Paphos, ensuring comprehensive community coverage throughout the country. This collaboration between ZF and families represents a commitment to providing accessible, quality rehabilitation services, aiming to bridge the gap where state support may be insufficient.

The final decisions on applications are made by the Cyprus Child Rehabilitation Program Committee. It is a cornerstone of the project, formed on the principle that local insight and respect are vital for the effective distribution of aid. The committee is composed of esteemed Cypriot citizens who understand the unique challenges and needs of local communities. We thank them for participation in the program and hope for further cooperation.
