Our #LilyPadProject ensures full support of the women until reaching their final destination allowing them to actively participate in their resettlement and rebuild their lives.

A milestone we hoped we’d never have to mark. 100 million people have now fled their homes. #ForcedToFlee

100 million people displaced is shocking—as is the speed with which the world has met this dire mark. The figure represents system failure at all levels: states, diplomacy, and the international legal regime. This must be a moment of reckoning and action.

Protection is a key word often used in the humanitarian space. In its simplest form, it is a legal or formal measure in place to preserve civil liberties and rights. At Elpida Home, we have a dedicated team overseeing the protection of our community. #protection #wordoftheday

How it feels when the world promised to stand by you forever, but they lied. #FreeHerFace #Afghanistan

A spotlight on one of our employees, Alireza Lotfi, who is an interpreter and cultural mediator at Elpida Home. Alireza came as a political refugee from Iran in 2019 and, after attempting to leave Greece, decided to settle and build his life in Greece. #interpreter #iran #refugee

A throwback to this special meal cooked by one of our Syrian families in Elpida Home’s reception facility for vulnerable families in 2017. This is only one of the 50 families which Elpida Home has helped relocate to Europe. #refugeestories #integration #supportrefugees #family

Nobody chooses to leave home unless they have to. This video addresses the bias often found today where people find themselves to be more willing to help those “who are more like them”. We need to acknowledge these double standards and support all those who must leave their home.

The UNHCR marked an upsetting milestone of 100 million forcibly displaced people in the world. It has come as an urgent alarm bell that efforts to reduce the number of displaced need to be addressed. UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency #humanitariancrisis #displacement #socialjustice #supportrefugees

Meet Berivan who has benefitted from the support of our Community Centre services since her and her family’s arrival in Greece 5 years ago. She says how her life has been turned around and that Elpida Home has not only been a support centre for her, but her family too. #hope

This mobile school is offering boys and girls in remote regions of Afghanistan the chance to learn by bringing the classroom to them 👇

"I could not wish for any more from Elpida Home, they provide everything" Here is a community spotlight on Khuder whose son Mohammed experiences autism. It is wonderful to hear how much Mohammed and the rest of the family have improved over their 4 years in Greece.

A huge thank you to @greekamericacorps, who were part of Greek America Foundation's volunteering program. 3 weeks of activities, classes and work with the @americanfarmschool to support those at Elpida Home - thank you! Hope to continue this in the future.

A fun filled afternoon in #Thessaloniki with the children at Elpida Home. Volunteers started the day helping pick and package vegetables, played a game of the amazing race and sparked creativity through a rock painting activity. #GreekAmericaCorps #GAC2022
