Charitable organization

Andrey & Julia Dashin’s Foundation is a charitable body set-up to provide the opportunity to individuals and organisations in need to apply for financial aid. The objective of Andrey and Julia Dashin’s Foundation is to offer support to Cypriot and Mauritian society and support the Cyprus and Mauritius communities by responding to the most urgent and genuine funding appeals. The Foundation intends 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. Currently there is a large influx of incoming funding requests via our website (dashinfoundation.org), but the Foundation is happy to welcome any initiative to help or offer a helping hand towards the ongoing charity causes of the Foundation.

🏖️ Heading to the beach?
🍹Make a stop at the True Heart Cafe! Whether you're in the mood for a fresh juice or an iced coffee, there's always time for a little break.

🤝 And while you’re enjoying your favourite beverage, you're also supporting something meaningful. True Heart Café offers employment opportunities for people with autism, creating a welcoming space where they can work, grow, develop their skills and be part of a team.

💚 Sometimes, a simple coffee or fresh juice can be part of something much bigger. It can help create opportunities, build confidence and make inclusion part of everyday life.

☀️ So, make your summer stop count!

✨Real transformation happens when hearts and minds align.

As the first social enterprise in Cyprus, True Heart Cafe is a ground-up project that combines a welcoming cafe experience with a mission for real social change. It shows what can be achieved when an NGO receives government support and joins forces with private enterprises to create sustainable jobs, ensuring true inclusion for adults with autism.

We are deeply grateful to have supported Voice for Autism and True Heart Cafe to help bring to life a place that changes lives every single day. 💙

❤️True Heart Cafe captured our hearts from the very beginning.

We are proud to have supported Cyprus's very first social enterprise from the ground up. Created by Mrs. Ellen Georgiou Pontikis, Founder and President of Voice for Autism, this inspiring space provides 18 neurodivergent individuals with meaningful jobs, while 5 young adults with autism stand proud as actual shareholders in the business.

Seeing them thrive, grow, and take pride in running the cafe reminds us why we do what we do. We are beyond honored to walk this journey alongside Ellen and her team as they drive true social inclusion and independence.

Her incredible dedication to changing lives in our community is why she has been nominated for the "Allwyn Κοινωνική Προσφορά/CSR” Award at the 2026 Madame Figaro Awards!

🎸 Hundreds of people came together for Rocking Autism, turning an evening of live music into a powerful celebration of inclusion, community and meaningful impact.

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who joined us and helped make this special event possible. Together, we supported Voice for Autism and the incredible work of True Heart Cafe, Cyprus’ first social enterprise creating meaningful employment opportunities for neurodivergent people.

We are proud to have stood alongside Exinity as main sponsors of an initiative that reflects our shared commitment to creating lasting social impact.

As our Founder, Andrey Dashin, shared: "The real success of Rocking Autism wasn't measured by the number of people who attended, but by the message it sent."

When businesses, charities and the wider community come together around a shared purpose, they can create meaningful change and help build a more inclusive future where everyone has the opportunity to thrive.''

💙 To everyone who travelled from across the island to be part of this unforgettable evening, thank you. Your energy, generosity and support made all the difference.

🗳️ Voting closes on 19 July 2026.

Her journey began with a mother’s love turned into action as she refused to accept limitations, and committed to redefining what inclusion looks like in Cyprus.

Through our collaboration on initiatives that create meaningful opportunities for young adults with autism, we have come to know Ellen not only as a visionary leader, but as a truly compassionate person with unwavering dedication, and boundless passion. Her commitment to creating lasting change is reflected in everything she does.

Through her vision, Voice for Autism has become a catalyst for real change, supporting young adults with autism as they transition into adulthood with dignity, structure, and hope.

At the heart of this work is the True Heart Cafe, a space where young adults are not only supported, but employed, valued, and celebrated for their abilities. A place where inclusivity is not simply an idea, but a lived every-day experience.

✨ We congratulate Ellen on this well-deserved nomination and wish her every success.

Some of the most important lessons don't happen in a classroom. They happen when every child feels they belong. 💛

At Μικρός Οδυσσέας - Little Odysseus, children come together to imagine, create and tell one shared story. But this programme offers more than just a creative space. It offers every child the opportunity to contribute, be heard and lead.

We're proud to support an initiative where students from mainstream schools and special units don't simply participate, but become the storytellers, creators and teammates.

Because inclusion isn't about making room for someone. It's about creating a space where everyone can grow, create and belong.

✨ Follow their journey as their story comes to life.

Supported by Exinity, brought to life with the help of Dashin’s Foundation.
