BUTTERFLY FOUNDATION
BUTTERFLY FOUNDATION ACTION 2019 Established by Imperio in early 2015, the Butterfly Foundation is a charitable organisation that supports initiatives in education, health, nature, wildlife and community giving in Cyprus. Acknowledging the needs of today’s society and as part of its corporate social responsibility, Imperio has set up the charity wanting to contribute back to the society. In 2015, the Butterfly Foundation dedicated its contribution to the Cyprus University
of Technology (TEPAK) providing in the educational and research program while offering opportunities to 10 young students. Further on, in 2016 the Foundation supported the Cyprus Paraplegics Organisation (Ο.ΠΑ.Κ) with the aim to make Limassol more accessible and receptive for all its citizens. In 2017, the Foundation supported the Sirius Dog Sanctuary and the Friends of the Earth Cyprus, to contribute in this way to the welfare of stray dogs and protect the nature of Cyprus.
In 2018, the organisation devoted its action to support the Anemone Day Care Centre, which falls under the Cyprus Society for the Protection of Spastic and Handicapped Children. Through the successful organisation of the “Light Up A Smile” Christmas dinner, the Butterfly Foundation managed to raise over €20,000 for the needs of the Anemone Day Care Centre and its new premises.
