ENA Foundation launches social initiatives and athlete support in Cyprus
The ENA Foundation, established by entrepreneur Tasos Papanastasiou and co-founder Christiana Panagi, has completed its first year of operation in Cyprus. The organization focuses on long-term social impact across four pillars, primarily through the "Beyond the Medal" initiative. This program assists Olympic and Paralympic athletes in managing "dual careers" by supporting both their professional training and academic studies. Specifically, the foundation provides financial coverage for athletic preparation and tuition fees. In 2025, the program supported athletes including Andreas Beros, Iosif Kesidi, Konstantina Georgiou, and Milan Trajkovic. Other supported athletes include Marios Georgiou, Markos Kontopoulos, Marilena Makri, and Natasa Lappa. The foundation's activities were officially detailed in Nicosia on February 11, 2026. Its primary goal is to provide practical opportunities for individuals to achieve their goals and dreams.
