Education

How We Got Started

Nikolaos Karathanassis’s heart is in educating the youth of the world. Over the past 10 years the KARATHANASSIS FOUNDATION has directly donated funds for school operations, paid teachers salaries, donated school supplies including computers. All of the funds were distributed and monitored by our own staff. We donated funds to the CREPS programme in Sierra Leone, West Africa which assist young teenage children who were displaced by 10 years of civil war and were denied basic education, allowing them to go back to school and receive a basic education.

Scholarship Programme

The Foundation runs a scholarship programme whereby a select student is sponsored 100% to attend an international university. The students are not required to repay these funds, our only requirement is the student must return to his or her home country for five years to work and inspire other youths to further their education.

In Greece we have donated funds to students who wish to go to University but do not have the funds to pay for tuition or living expenses away from home.
