The A.G. Leventis Foundation recently granted The Permaculture Research Institute of Hellas with funding to help underprivileged Greek nationals to take courses in permaculture design.

The A.G. Leventis Foundation was established in May 1979 as a result of provisions made by Anastasios G. Leventis, who died in October 1978. Anastasios Leventis, was born in Cyprus in 1902, he established one of the largest companies in West Africa and from 1966 served as Cyprus' honorary Ambassador and Permanent Delegate to UNESCO. From the beginning, the aim of the Foundation was to support educational, cultural, artistic and philanthropic causes in Cyprus, Greece and elsewhere. The A.G. Leventis Foundation lays special emphasis on the financing of programmes concerning the protection of the environment and it is a great honour for The Permaculture Research Institute of Hellas to have been entrusted with their support.
