Zaatar non-profit organization, helping refugees and asylum-seekers in Athens, Greece

Za’atar’s mission is to empower refugees and migrants to build self-sufficient lifestyles by providing constructive spaces for education, employment training, and cultural integration. We believe in empowerment, not pity. Refugees cook, clean, and teach and attend classes to prepare for their future—whether that future is living independently in Greece or in another country after reunification or relocation. THE ORANGE HOUSE BY THE NUMBERS: 14 classes per day in 3 different classrooms 150 hot lunches served every week 900 showers provided every month 1.500 class attendees every month
