Any activity that offers hope to the Greek population is necessary. Within this context, ELPEN is leaving its trace, by engaging in essential, creative projects for remote areas of the country and sponsoring activities such as: creating a playground in Anafi, funding the installment of a water reverse osmosis filter in Thymena, providing a water supply system for Keramidous, offering equipment for the medical cabinet in Koufonissi and Iraklia, and providing educational, teaching and recreational material for the schools in small, remote islands of the Aegean Sea.
