Moria White Helmets

In March 2020, a Syrian/ Arab self-organization was founded as a response to the covid-pandemic, with the ambition for refugees to take a more active role in the Moria Refugee Camp – the largest center for asylum seekers in Europe-  in fixing their current issues.

Currently, within the Mavrovouni Camp structure on Lesvos, the Moria White Helmets conduct a variety of projects developed and adapted to meet the ever changing needs on the island, such as:

• Barber for boys and men
• Beauty for girls and women
• Education (native languages, culture of the countries of origin, etc.) for children and adults
• Keeping the camp clean and recycling plastic bottles
• Workshop for repairs, electricity supply, etc.
• Manufacture of plastic bottle collection containers for the Green Mythelini Program

Ariadni is the main local Greek partner of the Moria White Helmets, because as a non-formal refugee self-organization they need an NGO that assists them with logistics from outside the camp.
