The nonprofit Initiative Wise Greece supports the small food producers and their family-owned businesses, by promoting their products in Greece and abroad and turns the sales profit into food supplies for people in need. Wise Greece collaborates with 100 small producers with more than 2.500 products, exports in 8 countries and has distributed more than 123 tons of essential food supplies to people living under the poverty line. Additionally, Wise Greece implements a series of educational programs that offer upskilling opportunities to hundreds of people who belong to vulnerable groups, while more than 600.000 people have already benefited from Wise Greece’s general social activity.

Women support Women

The goal of Wise Greece is to provide equal opportunities to women, so that they can showcase their unique talents. The female presence at Wise Greece is visible as numbers speak for themselves. 75% of the employees and 60% of the producers of Wise Greece are women. At the same time, 69% of the participants in the training programs are women, as well as 82% of the volunteers who support the overall activities of the organization.
