Gina Athanassiou (born 7 June 1984) is a South African former beauty queen and model of Greek origin who has just developed a new nutritional food solution to assist underprivelaged communities in South Africa.
Born in Johannesburg, Gina’s father is a doctor and her mother a businesswoman. She was raised on a small holding in Eikenhof,in the south of Johannesburg.
Crowned Miss South Africa Teen 2000 aged 17, she then signed for IMG Models and moved to Paris. Developing her modelling career, she was the first South African model to appear in Marie Claire, and has been voted FHM sexiest woman in the world and South Africa’s most Stylish Woman.
And now the international model is working on helping underprivileged communities in South Africa.
“After many many months of hard work, commitment and dedication, I am proud to say that my dream which is a solution to a big problem has finally become a reality. Nothing is more satisfying than seeing your dream become alive, and well received by the intended beneficiaries.
Holanathi means “grow with us”. Which epitomises our vision. We do not only strive to grow and invest in human capital, but also in our communities, and our economy.”
Holanathi is a for-profit distributor and manufacturer of nutritional food products. They specialize in the provision/ manufacturing and distribution of fortification of staple foods, where relevant nutrients which are often unavailable or difficult for families and children to access, especially in vulnerable populations, are provided.
“Knowing personally what a compromised immune system feels like, I can not state how gratifying it is to be able to offer my very own product, one which was scientifically developed by the very best food scientist and compliant with the daily recommended nutritional value, to those in need, across the board , to all of Africa.
We offer a sustainable solution not only to economic empowerment, but also to the huge epidemic of malnutrition through our turnkey offering. Not only does it taste real good, but our ingredients are all sourced locally and made with love.”
