         BENJAMIN Child Support Society is a non-profit philanthropic organization founded, managed and supervised by men and women who grew up in an Evangelical orphanage in Katerini Greece, during the 1950s.
         In 1994, grateful for the love and support we received during those difficult years, from people who did not know us but who knew the love of God, we established BENJAMIN to help other orphan and abandoned children.

        Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this:
'To look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world'

        The Board of Directors consisting of 5 members, all grew up in the same orphanage.

         Harry Anastasiou our President and Joan, his wife supervise all our projects.
         Interview with Harry and Joan Anastasiou.
        Anna Kefalas who grew up in the same orphanage, in 1959 was adopted in USA and now heads our BENJAMIN office in L.A. Please read Anna's latest letter, it will certainly inspire you.
 
       
We work very closely with MACEDONIAN OUTREACH, a Christian organization, founded by our very good friends Haig and Vula Rushdoony, helping the neediest of the needy in the Balkan Peninsula in every way possible.

        We also work very closely with Ignatius and Nena Meimaris, founders of Interbalkan Institute For Educational And Economic Development.

         All BENJAMIN work is performed on a voluntary basis. No one on staff gets a salary

         Each child is supported while living in his/her own family environment.
         Each orphan over 8 years of age is provided with a New Testament
         We receive no funds from the state.   All donations come from people who are sensitive to the needs of orphans.
         Income tax receipts are issued for every contribution in Greece, USA and Canada.
