UNIC Athens | Charity Initiatives: Turning Solidarity into Action

We invite you to participate in two parallel charitable initiatives, contributing in a meaningful way to supporting individuals, families, and children facing social and economic challenges.

These initiatives are organized by UNIC Athens in collaboration with the ‘Social Grocery Store’ of the Municipality of Elliniko–Argyroupoli and the Hatzikyriakio Child Care Institution. They highlight the importance of collective giving, social awareness, and the active participation of our university community.
