Charity Organizations, Rostro Group and Rostro Foundation, Promise €100,000 for Assistance in Wake of Cyprus Wildfire Catastrophe
Rostro Group and Rostro Foundation Pledge €100,000 for Cyprus Wildfire Relief
Rostro Group, a diversified financial services company with a strong presence in Cyprus, has pledged €100,000 in aid for the recovery efforts following the devastating wildfires that hit Cyprus in 2025. The funds will be jointly provided by Rostro Group and its charitable arm, Rostro Foundation.
The wildfires, which affected over 100 square kilometers, primarily in the Troodos mountain range, caused significant loss of life, displacement, and destruction of homes and forests.
The pledged funds will be directed towards accredited humanitarian organizations, environmental NGOs, and local authorities engaged in both immediate relief and long-term recovery. This support is aimed at providing aid to those affected and assisting in the restoration of damaged forest ecosystems.
Constantinos Shakallis, the CEO of Scope Markets Cyprus, stated that supporting the wildfire relief cause is essential and necessary for Rostro Group. A significant portion of Rostro Group's team is based in Cyprus, and many of their colleagues, friends, and families have been affected by the crisis.
In addition to the financial support, Rostro Group employees will be granted time off to volunteer directly with environmental and community organizations involved in the relief efforts. This active engagement beyond monetary aid demonstrates Rostro Group's commitment to both urgent support and sustainable recovery.
Roger Hambury, the owner and founder of Rostro Group, commented on the crisis, expressing solidarity with the local community during this difficult time. He emphasized Rostro Group's connection to Cyprus and their desire to help in any way they can.
Rostro Foundation, a part of Rostro Group, works with world-leading institutions to deliver high-impact change in communities. They are overseeing the coordination with partners on the ground to ensure effective deployment of the aid. Further updates about the specific distribution of funds and ongoing activities are expected to be provided as the situation develops.
Rostro Group operates multiple brokerage brands, including Scope Markets, which has been operating in Cyprus since 2014. The group is involved in M&A activities, banking, payments, and fintech, and offers a wide range of financial products and services catering to customers across the globe.
The pledge from Rostro Group reflects a deep sense of responsibility and solidarity with the local community during the crisis. As the recovery efforts continue, it is clear that Rostro Group stands with Cyprus in its time of need.
