The Hellenic Initiative (THI)
Το The Hellenic Initiative – ΤΗΙ ιδρύθηκε το 2012 και είναι ένας παγκόσμιος μη κερδοσκοπικός οργανισμός που φέρνει κοντά Έλληνες της Διασποράς και Φιλέλληνες με στόχο να επενδύσουν στην Ελλάδα μέσω προγραμμάτων που επικεντρώνονται στην οικονομική ανάπτυξη και ανακούφιση από την κρίση. Από την ίδρυση του μέχρι και σήμερα, το THI έχει επενδύσει περισσότερα από 22 εκατομμύρια δολάρια στην Ελλάδα, καθιστώντας το THI ως τον μεγαλύτερο οργανισμό Ελλήνων της Διασποράς.
Η πολύπλευρη προσέγγιση του THI για την υποστήριξη της Ελλάδας περιλαμβάνει τη χρηματοδότηση καινοτόμων νεοφυών επιχειρήσεων και μικρών επιχειρήσεων, τη δημιουργία θέσεων εργασίας, καθώς και την παροχή άμεσης βοήθειας σε όσους πλήττονται από οικονομικές δυσκολίες και φυσικές καταστροφές. Μέσω αυτών των δράσεων το ΤΗΙ δεν στοχεύει μόνο στην αντιμετώπιση άμεσων αναγκών, αλλά και στη δημιουργία βάσεων για μακροπρόθεσμη ευημερία και ανθεκτικότητα στην Ελλάδα. Αξιοποιώντας τη δικτύωση, την τεχνογνωσία και τους πόρους της ελληνικής ομογένειας, το THI έχει καταστεί ένας καθοριστικός παράγοντας στη προσπάθεια της Ελλάδας να ανακάμψει, εμπνέοντας ελπίδα και αλληλεγγύη εντός και εκτός της χώρας.
