Board of Directors
Message from the President
Welcome to the “Theotokos” Foundation.
With a deep sense of responsibility and pride, we present to you a lifetime of dedication—a mission that for over 60 years has supported individuals with intellectual developmental disorders and autism spectrum disorders. We work consistently to ensure social inclusion and a life of dignity for our children and youth. The leading role our Foundation holds today is a direct reflection of this collective, dedicated effort.
Our mission goes far beyond education and rehabilitation. We create an environment where every child can dream, grow, and claim their rightful place in the world. Through initiatives that foster inclusion, innovative programs stemming from international collaborations that build vital skills, and actions that pave the way for a fairer, more open society, we strive every single day to make a meaningful difference.
Our journey is guided by transparency, collaboration, and continuous evolution. We nurture the trust of the families we serve, our staff, and our supporters through robust governance, ensuring that every decision we make aligns with our core values and vision. At the same time, we embrace sustainability and social responsibility, investing in practices that shape a better present and an even brighter tomorrow.
I want to express my deepest gratitude to all of you—our dedicated staff, our tireless volunteers, and our invaluable supporters. Together, we continue to offer not just a better today, but the promise of a future full of opportunity, hope, and potential.
