We are showcasing the importance of the demographic issue for the future of Greece and are contributing to addressing it, prompted by the 200-year anniversary since the Greek Independence. Through the Moving Family Forward corporate social responsibility initiative, we take action to support Greek families. We are standing by the efforts of young couples to have children and we support new parents.
Moving Family Forward
Making every moment the right moment for a child to be born.
An initiative with a national and social impact
Greece recently celebrated the 200-year anniversary since the War for its Independence. To highlight issues of major national significance, we are contributing to showcasing the demographic issue, which is admittedly the most major problem the country is facing in the near future.
According to research, by 2050 the population of Greece is expected to drop significantly, by around 800,000 to 2.5 million people. Our actions to support Greek families and new parents in vulnerable and remote areas have a strong and clear impact on this and the generations to come.
Working with NGOs to meet family needs
We are standing by the Be-Live NGO in its campaign to raise awareness and meet IVF expenses for women with infertility problems.
In partnership with the Apostoli NGO, the charity organisation of the Holy Archdiocese of Athens, we meet the needs of newborns living in Evros and small NE Aegean islands for the 1st year of their life. We also fund the establishment and operation of the Lela Karagianni Children's Multi Venue.
We are standing by the Together for Children NGO in the emotional support services it offers through the 11525 Mental Health Helpline and the psycho-educational seminars it runs for new and future parents.
Benefits for new parents in remote areas
For new parents who have a child up to 1 years old and live in Evros, the NE Aegean islands and the Dodecanese up to Kastelorizo, regardless of their income, we offer:
- 10% €pistrofi for 1 year at any baby or children’s store and e-shop.
- 1.20% interest for the child’s Megalono Account for the first €15,000 and an additional gift ranging from €50 to €150 in their account.
- Free child health insurance for 2 years for outpatient care and emergency air ambulance.
- 1.00% discount off the mortgage loan interest rate and no charge for certain expenses.
Supporting the local community of Evros with actions
We created new job openings for 45 EuroPhone Banking call centre representatives who live permanently in remote Evros.
We give people who choose to live in areas of the Regional Unit of Evros the chance to stay and work at their place of residence.
By offering jobs and income, we support new families. We give all those who want to have children the chance to do so.
This way, we reinforce the demographic issue initiative with this major new action to support employment.
