**Petrolina Supports Expansion of Ronald McDonald House® Cyprus**
In a significant move to bolster community support and enhance health and well-being initiatives, Petrolina (Holdings) Public Ltd. has announced its sponsorship of the expansion of Ronald McDonald House® Cyprus. The company has adopted one of the four new rooms in the House’s extension, which is set to increase its capacity to accommodate families in need.
The expansion of Ronald McDonald House® Cyprus is a crucial development, allowing the facility to host up to 120 additional families each year. This increase is vital as it addresses the growing demand for support services for families whose children are undergoing medical treatment. The House provides free accommodation, meals, and various forms of support, ensuring that families can stay close to their loved ones during challenging times.
Georgia Lefkariti, Executive Director of Petrolina, expressed the company’s dedication to social responsibility, stating, “At Petrolina, we have always supported initiatives that make a real difference in people’s lives. Ronald McDonald House® Cyprus is a wonderful example of the support and care that communities can offer to families when they need it most, and we are proud to contribute to the growth of its work.”
Since its opening in 2022 in Nicosia, Ronald McDonald House® Cyprus has made a significant impact, having hosted over 900 families and provided more than 11,000 overnight stays. The House serves as a vital resource for families navigating the complexities of medical care for their children, reinforcing the importance of keeping families together during difficult times.
The expansion of the facility not only reflects Petrolina's commitment to community welfare but also highlights the collaborative efforts of local businesses and organizations in supporting health-related initiatives. As the demand for such services continues to grow, the contributions from companies like Petrolina are essential in ensuring that families have access to the resources they need.
The Ronald McDonald House® program, which operates in various countries worldwide, aims to provide a supportive environment for families during medical crises. The Cyprus branch is committed to upholding this mission, and the recent expansion will further enhance its ability to serve the community effectively.
As Petrolina continues to engage in socially responsible initiatives, the partnership with Ronald McDonald House® Cyprus exemplifies how corporate support can lead to meaningful changes in the lives of families facing health challenges. The company’s involvement is a testament to the power of community collaboration in addressing pressing social issues.
