Origins

The Diaspora Answers The Call
For Wildfire Relief

In the Summer of 2021, Greece was ravaged by severe wildfires which damaged over 125,000 hectares (300,000 acres) of land, the most severe wildfires in Greece since 2007.

The Hellenic Initiative launched a wildfires campaign to response to the crisis and raised over $550,000 from 4,500 supporters in 47 countries.

THI allocated these funds to three restorative projects, including $100,000 dedicated to reforesting damaged land. And the idea for Plant a Tree in Greece was born.
