"This project to create humane living conditions for refugees fleeing war is about the art of the possible. It is a testament to what can be achieved when a group of like minded determined individuals come together and work in harmony toward a common goal. To all the brilliant volunteers participating you have my utmost admiration and gratitude." -- Amed Khan, Project Founder Elpida Home Project is collaborating with the Greek Ministry of Migration to rehabilitate a 6000 sq. meter abandoned fabric factory in Thessaloniki and create suitable living conditions to house refugees -- many women and children. The public-private partnership will create humane living conditions and allow refugees to participate in the process, giving them a say in their own welfare. This partnership, in building a safe home for refugees, is unprecedented in Greece and we hope it will inspire other organizations to take similar steps. The goal is to shift pressure off the Greek government in this collaboration by managing the design, location and initial logistics of the new facility.
