The WHITE VILLAGE FUND was conceived and founded as a reaction and positive action at a time when citizens are alianated from each other by life in big cities. At the same time, the villages in our country are being deserted either hit by floods or earthquakes or at time abandoned in ruins through neglect and migration.
Our members come from all over the world and we have come together united by a common goal: to build a better Tomorrow for some of the less fortunate, offering them Hope and the equipment and foundations which will help them create a better future for themselves.
Thus the WHITE VILLAGE FUND, a Non-Governmental Organization (N.G.O) non-profit making, non political and philanthropic organization, was created in the spring of 1996 (Athens Magistrate's Court Decision 2630-24/04/96).
Our first General Assembly of the Members was held on July 2nd. 1996 with Athens, Greece as a base and branches in many other cities in Greece, such as Thessaloniki, Volos, Kozani, Grevena. Kastoria, as well as in other countries- in Italy, Great Britain, the United States and Cyprus.
