We Feed the Elderly and Sick in the Lesbos Camp

Greece

In 2015, 856,000 people passed through the Greek islands, and in 2017 and 2018 only just under 30 thousand (according to UNHCR). But 2019 brought already a growth – over 60,000 newcomers. Practice shows that you can get stuck in Lesbos for a good few years. Nikos and Katerina run a small restaurant on the island, where every refugee can feel at home and eat a meal for free.

Overview:
  • At the end of 2024, there were nearly 4,000 refugees in the camp on the Greek island of Lesbos. Almost 28% of them are children.
  • Since the beginning of 2015, 1,25 million refugees have arrived in Europe via the Greek islands.

A few years ago, we began our project in Greece with kitchen revolutions. We fed those whose health made it impossible to survive on camp rations alone. We still do that, but like a good chef, we’ve seasoned our project by also giving opportunities to those who want and are able to work. That’s how Home Village came to life.

Our beneficiaries work tirelessly to ensure that every morning the kitchen receives baskets full of organic vegetables, which Katerina and her team later turn into culinary wonders. And so the cycle continues.

By supporting our Greek project, you’re not only helping feed the hungry and sick. You’re giving happiness and empowerment, restoring dignity to those who want and can provide healthy, delicious meals.

Urgent help for seniors

Let’s save Laudy and Jean from homelessness

Their entire life savings have been wiped out by the economic crisis. They haven’t been able to pay rent for nine months. If the landlord loses patience, they’ll end up on the street - with nowhere to turn. We don’t want them counting down the days until eviction!
