Greece

Since 2015, more than one million people, fleeing war, persecution, natural disasters, and poverty, have risked their lives through the perilous sea and land crossings to seek refuge in Greece. Recent international political policies have limited immigration out of Greece resulting in more than 60,000 people currently trapped, scattered across detention centers and makeshift camps and the number is increasing daily. Our Squads volunteer at community partners to provide health and educational assistance to the local refugee population. In conjunction with the UN’s International Organization for Migration (IOM), we are a registered Greek organization working at the request of the Greek government to provide these services to refugees seeking integration around Athens.

SUPPORTING HEALTH AND EDUCATION FOR REFUGEE CHILDREN

Squads Abroad implement both Global Health and Global Education programming in Greece in conjunction with our parent organization, Global Brigades. The projects vary from building educational infrastructure to supporting health clinics for children in conjunction with the Greece government health system.
