Andrey and Julia Dashin’s Foundation
LETTER FROM THE FOUNDERS
On May 5, 2014, my wife Julia and I officially announced the opening of Andrey and Julia Dashin’s Foundation.
There are always many reasons behind starting a new charity with its own goals and initiatives. The primary reason for creating a personal foundation is to continue fulfilling our philanthropic mission on the beautiful island of Cyprus, which became our new home. On April 24, 2019 we also announced the opening of the Foundation’s branch in Mauritius. Our core philosophy is this:
The ability to make a positive change, even to the life of one community, one family or one person, is and will forever be important.
We know that a lot of local initiatives are taking place to address local issues, but we also know from experience that the world can never have too much kindness, selfless giving and generosity. Our ten year experience in charitable work in Russia has taught us that like all things, nothing can be done without diligent planning and perseverance – without the sacrifice of time, money and hard work. And of course that nothing lasts long or is successful, if you do not have passion and genuine love for what you do.
We launched Andrey and Julia Dashin’s Foundation with great expectations in mind and with great enthusiasm at heart. Cyprus has greatly enriched our lives, indulging us in its beautiful Mediterranean environment, rich culture, local warmth and hospitality. Mauritius charmed us with stunning scenery, interesting history and amazing kindness. We set this Foundation as a platform to get involved with the people of these regions and help alleviate the struggles or suffering they may be going through. We are prepared to listen to the problems being faced there and to learn everything Cyprus, Mauritius, and its people have to teach us.
We believe that happiness does not equate in materialistic gratification. We also believe that real help substantially contributes in improving one’s quality of life.
Your support in our new endeavor is welcomed and appreciated. Volunteerism takes many forms and however you may choose to help us, the goal and end result will always remain the same. Help those affected have a greater chance in life. Whoever they may be, no matter of age, color, gender or other social discrimination and prejudices.
Our Best Regards,
Andrey & Julia Dashin

Mission Statement
We established the Andrey & Julia Dashin’s Foundation because we wish to dedicate direct financial and moral support to all those in need. We believe that anyone can make a difference in the lives of the less fortunate because people were blessed with the gift of compassion and generosity – all we have to do is use it.
Objectives
The Foundation’s core objective is to extend a helping hand to any cause of genuine need in Cyprus and Mauritius.
To fulfill our mission, we listen and respond to the needs of:
- Children
- Education
- Healthcare
- Culture & the Arts
- Environment
- Social issues
We aim to tackle the problems in these areas by offering direct financial support to those who are affected by social/economic disadvantage. Furthermore, we intend on actively and passionately promoting the act of volunteerism by encouraging young people to participate in charity projects and cooperating with local authorities and other NGOs to make our work as efficient as possible.
Collaborations
The Andrey & Julia Dashin Foundation welcomes new private initiatives by local NGOs (non-governmental organizations) or other focus groups. We stay true to our mission statement in offering an extending hand to anyone who needs help in Cyprus and Mauritius. We are open to new collaborations and are always willing to sponsor projects aimed at improving people’s lives or the environment.
