Home Project
Background
The HOME Project is a non-profit organisation which helps refugee and child migrants, who arrive in Greece alone. The project moves children from the streets, camps, police stations and detention centres and brings them to the safety of one of their HOMES. They provide children with support, protection, education and social integration services.
The HOME project currently has 11 shelters with a capacity of 220 children. There are 10 shelters in central Athens, with one in Kallithea, southwest of Athens. The project focuses on caring for the children within the city, not away from it. This helps children integrate and feel included in the community around them and gives them access to more educational services and athletic facilities.

Greece, 2016-2018
Ritsona Refugee Camp
Background
We visited the Ritsona camp in Greece in 2016 and saw a vast gap in mental health services for the 750 refugees living there.
People in the camp had travelled from areas of Syria, the former Kurdistan, South Sudan and other areas of political conflict. As the EU borders closed, the refugees were stuck waiting in limbo, separated from family members and unsure of their futures.
Having experienced unimaginable losses of loved ones, livelihoods, education, and a place to call home, they were at great risk of developing mental health issues.
