General Information
The organisation is a migrants' NGO with 6 permanent staff members, a number of external collaborators and an extensive number of volunteers. Resources come from members' contributions and fundaraising campaigns for specific actions. Lately the organisation has received EU funding and is placing efforts of funding of the projects through other organisations as well. Partners in our projects are other civil society organisations, public authorities, private companies and activists in human rights from Greece and abroad. We carry out several educational activities and do humanitarian work.
Mission and Objectives

The organization has started out as a humanitarian association aiming at the support of the orphan children from Palestine and other mainly but exclusively Arabic countries that suffer from hostilities or terrorism. The objective is to help them retain a descent living standard by offering money, clothing, educational materials etc. Through the years the activities have expanded to the protection and promotion of migrant children’s and women’s rights, mainly of Arabic origin, that reside in Athens, especially through educational activities. We also develop cooperation with movements and international organisations that deal with child care and work for poverty reduction and the promotion of peace and solidarity.

Main Projects / Activities

Our main activities develop around educational support for orphan children in Palestine, educational and social support for migrant children in Athens, educational and social support for migrant women in Athens, Arabic language courses for Greeks, inter-cultural activities, promotion of volunteerism especially as far as Humanitarian relief is concerned. We are currently implementing an EU project (Lifelong Learning)through which migrant women will learn how to sell their traditional products via internet (e-commerce)
