Hope genesis project – “Milk needs children”

Our company stands by the side of all these people who encourage maternity and believe that supporting the Greek family is the key to national survival. More kids mean more hugs. Our country needs it more than ever. We believe so. And that’s why we do not stop stressing that milk needs children at every opportunity.

In general: To the society and the population of isolated far away and border areas in mainland Greece and the islands, in order to address the subfertility, ensuring medical care during pregnancy and childbirth who live permanently in these areas.

In particular: OLYMPUS has also proceeded to the «Adoption» of the following municipal communities of Elassona region:

  • Municipal Community of Antichasia

Our company chose to support Hope genesis project as to reverse the trend of declining birth in Greece. Hope genesis is a Greek, non-profit company founded in 2015 and active in the field of health and social welfare.  The organisation is working and focusing on solutions to reverse the birth deficit, both on the level of local communities – so as to provide the necessary security to women who are or wish to become pregnant – and on the level of the wider social fabric, through information, awareness raising and in-depth study of the issue.
