We aim to create dignified responses to people's needs after they fled their countries to foster self-determination. Our vision is a world in which every person has equal access to society and equal opportunities to realise their potential. Our mission is to provide platforms for people who fled their countries to get active; spaces where they can get rid of labels that stigmatise them, where they themselves can create solutions that immediately improve their living conditions, where they transform from the excluded into the experts of tomorrow, where they make first steps of integration. In order to live this mission, the organisation set up the intercultural maker space Habibi.Works in the North of Greece in August 2016. Habibi.Works is a platform for education, empowerment and encounters for refugees from nearby camps and for Greek locals. The 11 workshop areas (Community Kitchen, Wood Workshop, Metal Workshop, Barber Shop, Bike Repair Station, Sewing Atelier, Creative Atelier, Media Lab with 3D printers, laser cutter and VR, Gym, Library and Community Garden) are run by an international team of experts and allow the users to get active and creative, to share skills and experience, to prove their talents and unfold their potential.
Each of GlobalGiving’s nonprofit partners is required to send quarterly donor reports detailing the impact of their work. Here are some of their recent updates:
