Causes

On this page, I have included causes I am in favor of and try to support as best as I can. Being a Greek and living in Greece I influenced a lot by the Greek Financial Crisis (check the references here and here to find more information about the crisis) in more ways than I could count for!

Many Greek people influenced as well as losing many things considered as standard in their life while they need to do whatever they can to get ends meet!

Matt Petronzio of mashable.com wrote on the matter:

The country’s most vulnerable populations, such as the homeless, elderly, children and refugees, continue to face countless hardships — and they could use the world’s help.

The unemployment rate is currently 25.6% — the worst in the European Union. Families aren’t able to afford medicine, food or even funerals. Suicide rates have increased by more than 35% during the first two years of austerity programs, showing a need for more mental health services during the crisis.

An average of 1,000 refugees arrive in Greece every day, while the number of homeless people in Athens alone has topped 20,000. (mashable.com: Here are the best ways to help people suffering in Greece)

For this reason, I try whenever I can to ‘pay it forward‘ and support or promote various causes and organizations I think can make an impact in the modern world or make a difference.

My focus is on causes related to training and education, to research, to poverty-fighting, environmental resource protection, and children protection and well-being!

You can find many more organizations worth your attention on this page (Health & Safety section).

At the same time, I try to support/promote various friends and associates the work of whom I value a lot and I like to see it completed!

Below you will find some causes and organizations I support. Among them, you will find some Greek ones, which aim at helping Greeks leverage their assets and find their way in a turmoil period.
