Eurorelief was founded in 2005 and deployed to Kalamata, Greece in response to deadly earthquakes. Eurorelief later took up work on the island of Lesvos in 2015 as one of the NGOs serving within Moria Hotspot. We continue to fulfill key roles in Mavrovouni Registration and Identification Center (RIC), the new temporary camp on the island of Lesvos. In collaboration with camp management and other actors on the island, we provide basic non-food items, oversee shelter allocation, are involved in maintenance and building projects as well as education and recreational activities. Since summer 2021, we are also present in RIC Zervou on the island of Samos. For more info, go to Our Work.
