Campfire Innovation

Migration will be the challenge of a generation. CAMPFIRE Innovation ensures that the grassroots teams facing these challenges can access what they need to deliver smart, efficient and dignified aid to refugees. Who are the grassroots? The volunteers, local community responders, local NGOs, small international organisations, social enterprises and cooperatives that respond to the needs of displaced individuals impacted by the global refugee crisis. What do we mean by smarter aid? With 65 million displaced around the world today and expected to reach 250 million by 2050, we need to rethink our approach to humanitarian aid. We are working within a new phase of crisis response, moving from providing emergency relief to developing smart, sustainable integration in host countries. How do we spark change? CAMPFIRE Innovation works with grassroots teams to build a coordinated response throughout different areas of the refugee crisis. This improves access to resources and produces a collaborative approach to creating efficient, dignified solutions to shared challenges. We act as advocates of the grassroots community to those looking to connect with refugee response. CAMPFIRE Innovation’s activities are designed to act as a support mechanism for the growth of grassroots teams. We are currently active in Greece, identifying grassroots organizations and projects providing relief to over 60,000 people. Our mission is defined by connecting organisations to work together, share resources and creating projects that complement each other. We research and highlight the full range of the grassroots response and the best practices they are developing. Our goal is to increase the sustainability and efficiency of projects that put dignity at the core of refugee response. Join us to support the work of grassroots, local, community and volunteer projects in Greece!
