The Hellenic Initiative (THI) has awarded a $25,000 grant to Nosilia, a nonprofit that has pioneered palliative care for people of limited mobility and financial means in Greece, especially the elderly. The grant funds Nosilia’s new ‘Γήρας τιμάν- Honor the Elderly’ program which focuses on providing care to those over 65. With the elderly population in Greece growing and healthcare resources stretched thin, Nosilia’s work has become increasingly critical. With this support from THI, Nosilia aims to reach and assist 100 patients in the coming year.

 

The Hellenic Initiative (THI) has donated $50,000 to the Action Finance Initiative (AFI), Greece’s pioneering microfinance institution, empowering grassroots entrepreneurs and startups throughout Greece. AFI offers microloans up to €25,000 to support entrepreneurs in various sectors, especially in remote regions such as the Peloponnese, Dodecanese, Cyclades, and Crete. This grant will also fund a dedicated full-time employee to enhance AFI’s credit and Business Development Services (BDS) in these areas.
