Desmos, Sobi and Caritas support the victims of the 2018 East Attica Wildfires

Desmos and Sobi support the victims of the East Attica Wildfires in 2018.

Sobi, a world leader in rare diseases, donated electrical appliances to the victims of the East Attica 2018 wildfires, through Desmos. The appliances were delivered by Caritas Hellas.

The donation of appliances, namely kitchens, refrigerators, dishwashers, washing machines, TVs and smaller household appliances aim at helping the families afflicted by the fires cover basic needs, in hope of returning to a normal standard of living.

Mrs V. Garoufalidou, Carita’s representative, mentioned that ‘what matter most is to offer continuous support to people of the afflicted areas. As time has gone by, the support offered diminished. Actions, such as Desmos do not only offer in kind, but also serve as a psychological boost for afflicted families, a proof that people still care about them and have not left them alone in their struggle against this difficult situation.

DESMOS aims to coordinate the donating process between donors and organizations in need. Desmos does not attest to, or provide any guarantees regarding, the quality of the offered goods or their characteristics. Desmos designs and implements programs arising from financial donations by individuals, companies and charitable financial institutions aiming to meet the needs of vulnerable groups. In order to be able to sustainably run our programs, we need to cater for implementation costs such as research and update of needs, proposal compilation, implementation follow up, payments, financial and final reports to donors etc. The set policy of Desmos is to charge a 10% administrative fee after removing the applied 0.5% donation tax. Especially where individuals’ monetary donations up to 5.000 euros for combating the COVID-19 pandemic are concerned, Desmos waives its right to the aforementioned percentage and assumes the responsibility to absorb all administrative costs.
