Our sisters work 100% voluntary to live up to this mission! Here a selection of efforts we have been taking in year one and will continue to persue moving forward: ## 1. We Support Women in Need At [**Obdach Ester**](https://www.obdach.wien/p/obdachlos-tageszentren-ester) in Vienna, homeless women can find a safe and welcoming first point of contact — open 365 days a year. This vital service offers women in need access to a secure space, showers, a laundry room, computer workstations, a quiet room, and a kitchen for home cooking. Dedicated social workers provide individual guidance and answer essential questions such as: *How can I find a place to sleep? Where can I apply for support? Who can help me find my own apartment? Where can I turn if I face health or emotional challenges?* Thanks to our **generous sponsors**, who donated over **€2,000**, we have been able to continue supporting this important mission. Their contributions allowed us to provide essential hygiene products to the women at Obdach Ester. In addition, our caring community gathered clothing, coats, blankets, hats, and gloves to help them stay warm through the cold winter months. In April, with the help of our DOP friends, we were also delighted to donate **three TV sets** to bring a bit of comfort and connection to the women’s space. We are deeply **grateful** to our compassionate and generous community for standing with us in support of women in need! ## 2. We Support Next Generation Leaders We are proud to announce the **Pallas Athena Vienna DOP Student Scholarship** at **Webster Vienna Private University**! For the very first time, this scholarship will support a talented young woman from Athens in pursuing her studies at Webster Vienna. Promoting education — especially the education of women — lies at the very heart of the **Daughters of Penelope’s mission**. Together, we are empowering the next generation of leaders. In September, we hosted a[**Charity Panel Discussion**](https://daughtersofpenelope.at/paneldiscussion_september2025?hsLang=en) on *“The Financial Recovery of Greece and Lessons for Austria”* to raise funds for this scholarship. A heartfelt **thank you** to all the generous donors who made our educational mission a reality! ### HELP US HELP 💙Donate now**💙** Daughters of Penelope, Chapter 459 Erste Bank Austria **IBAN:** AT26 2011 1852 7444 8800 **BIC :** GIBAATWWXXX **Betreff**: DOP DONATION ![QR Code DOP Donation-2](https://daughtersofpenelope.at/hs-fs/hubfs/QR%20Code%20DOP%20Donation-2.jpg?width=387&height=380&name=QR%20Code%20DOP%20Donation-2.jpg) ###### Open your Online Banking App and Scan QR Code to Make a Donation!
