Order Of Beneficence (Greece)
The Order of Beneficence (Greek: Τάγμα Ευποιΐας), is an order of Greece, that was established in 1948.
It is conferred by the Greek government as a moral reward for women especially, Greek and foreign, for the good services they have rendered to the Fatherland in the field of charity as well as for their performance in the arts and letters. The fact that the order is awarded to women does not mean that the other Greek decorations are awarded exclusively to men.
