The HOME Project Grants 18 Full-time Scholarships for Refugee Children to ACS Athens for 2018-2019 in Partnership with The Shapiro Foundation - Seite 2

Enrolling its children in the Youth to Youth program of ACS Athens is a valuable part of The HOME Project's mission in providing a holistic educational experience to unaccompanied refugee children. From 2016, the Youth to Youth program has focused exclusively on HOME Project children.

The HOME Project continues to seek sponsorships and support to help combat the refugee crisis, which is the largest global humanitarian disaster since the Second World War. More than a million refugees, mostly Syrian, Afghanistan and Pakistani nationals, have arrived in Greece since the beginning of 2015 in need of help and protection. 

All donations received by The HOME Project go to directly benefit minors and child refugees by helping them to be safe, to have access to food and clothing, to have a home, and to be integrated into society. All donations are gratefully received by The HOME Project which looks to make an immediate, positive and lasting impact on the lives of unaccompanied minors and all those affected by the refugee crisis.

The HOME Project 

Standing for 'Help, Overcome, Motivate, and Empower', The HOME Project's mission is threefold. First, to bring unaccompanied minors to safety in dedicated shelters where they will be clothed, fed, and supported. Second, to source, refurbish, and convert unused buildings throughout Greece into shelters, bringing them back to life and into good use. Third, through the conversion, refurbishment, and ongoing operation of these shelters it is creating employment, including for refugees - 130 new jobs were created in its first year of operation. At the moment, The HOME Project is housing 200 children in ten homes and creating more than 130 jobs. The founding sponsor of The HOME Project is the Libra Group, a privately owned international business.
