The Hellenic Initiative Year-End Appeal – The Hellenic Initiative Canada

The Hellenic Initiative Year-End Appeal

We know that education is key to breaking the cycle of disadvantage and intergenerational poverty. This year we are joining with The Hellenic Initiative and The Hellenic Initiative Australia to bring together the Greek diaspora in support of our End of Year Appeal.


We are seeking your help to improve the educational outcomes of disadvantaged children in Greece.

Every child deserves an equal chance to thrive at school. Through the Education and Social centers overseen by SOS Children’s Villages Greece, we aim to empower parents facing financial or educational obstacles. These centers provide transformative opportunities for children, bridging gaps and fostering a positive environment for their growth and success. Each academic year, up to 2,000 children aged 8 to 17 from local communities, and up to 1,500 parents access the amazing support offered at the centres. 

*All donations receive a tax deductible receipt for the full amount of their donation.

Your gift has the potential to:

  • Increase the resilience, psychosocial well-being, and self-esteem of children and parents participating in the programs. 
  • Secure educational engagement, reduce school-drop out, and contribute towards self-sufficiency for children. 
  • Improve the integration and preparation into the labor market for children and parents.
  • Minimise risks of exploitation, abuse, violence, and engagement in illegal acts of children through education, and 
  • Provide the necessary means to develop social, communication and soft skills as part of children’s personal development. 

Together, we can secure the Gift of Knowledge and create a positive ripple effect in these communities.

Donate now and be a part of this transformative journey.

Help us in our efforts to provide direct crisis relief to the people of Greece.
