In addition, YIOTIS SA covers the baby’s baby food needs for the first two years of their life.

During the presentation, the Mayor of Makrakomi, Mr. Papafetimiou stressed: “We are all very conscious of what it means for a place, its population aging and not renewing. That’s why we welcome the program “A hope is born!” And we thank YIOTIS SA and HOPEgenesis that have organized such an important action for a truly huge issue of our country, such as low birth rate, calling for an urgent solution”.

YIOTIS’ s Company Communications and Social Media Director Mrs. Olympia Vagiona said: “For the past 89 years, YIOTIS SA has been supporting mother and family and could not remain indifferent to the problem of low births in our country, especially in the most remote areas, due to the more difficult conditions prevailing. The program “A hope is born!” ‘visited today its third station, in the municipalities of Makrakomi and Lamia, and we are here along with HOPEgenesis to support women wishing to have children in the real hope of welcoming soon together, the joy of new life!”.
