DIATROFI supports students in primary and secondary public schools in socioeconomically vulnerable areas throughout Greece and serves a dual purpose:
The ‘Ladies Union of Drama – Open Hospitality House’ is a small-scale non-profit philanthropic agency that helps families in Northeast Greece. In 2019 a Food Bank was added to its wide-ranging social services – one of four branches outside Athens of Food Bank Greece – that serves the needs of 1,700 family members.
The Food Bank fights hunger and food waste by providing food to children, elderly and people in need on a daily basis. Suppliers provide Food Bank with near-expired food products or products with defective packaging which are distributed fairly to charity organizations, shelters and soup kitchens. Volunteers cook on a daily basis offering a plate of food to anyone who really needs it.Â
The Hellenic Initiative (THI) is a global, nonprofit, secular institution mobilizing the Greek Diaspora and Philhellene community to support sustainable economic recovery and renewal for Greece and its people. Our programs address crisis relief through strong nonprofit organizations, led by heroic Greeks that are serving their country. They also build capacity in a new generation of heroes, business leaders, and entrepreneurs with the skills and values to promote the long-term growth of Hellas. View our Annual Report.
