GREECE

Since 2015, given the overwhelming number of refugees in the country, we increased our efforts in relation to provision for them. The charity provided refugees with water, clothes, food, healthcare and temporary shelter; and also assisted in the burial of those who tragically lost their lives during the perilous journey. This was some of the most harrowing work our staff and volunteers have ever experienced.

An example of one of the campaigns for the refugees in Greece, was Fleece4Greece; where a 40ft container was sent to the Greek island of Lesbos, consisting of gloves, winter hats, fleeces and socks. The refugees residing in Greece risked their lives in crossing the Mediterranean Sea, arriving into the country with barely any resources.
