ΠΕΡΙΛΗΨΗ
The organised philanthropic activity in Constantinople’s Greek-Orthodox community dates to the period between the second half of the 18th century to the Balkan wars. The education of indigent children, the organisation of hospitals according to European models, the care for the abandoned children and the provision of job to the poor comprised the basic feature of that bid. These practices signalled a change in the perception of poverty within a context marked by the attempt to westernize the structures of Ottoman society and by the emergence of Balkan nationalisms. |
