We support and invest in communities through donations and educational programs.

We responded immediately to the Covid-19 pandemic and after a request from the Mayor of Skiathos, Mr. Thodoris Tzoumas, donated 1.118 protective face masks (disposable and reusable) and 20 protective coverall bodysuits to the Municipality of Skiathos and its Health Center.

  • Nine pairs of hiking boots.
  • One sun shade for tablet and one camera filter, necessary for locating people in need of rescuing.
  • One multipurpose printing machine.
A donation was made to the Association of Parents & Guardians of the 2nd Primary School of Karystos to purchase the necessary equipment to make a robotics lab at the school.

For second year in a row we sponsored the program We Are the Environment. The program consists of educational workshops for the students of the three General Public High Schools in Santorini and the General Public High School of Therasia. The main purpose of these workshops was to promote environmental awareness and educate students on plastic pollution and marine ecosystem. The program was implemented by Agoni Grammi Gonimi with the collaboration of Arcturos, Noesis, and The Tipping Point.
In 2018, WATERBAGS donated to Santorini’s High School technical and sports equipment. Sponsors, school staff and students celebrated the donation in the schoolyard with a small ceremony.
