Last year with your help we funded over 3000 pairs of underwear for refugees in camps in Athens and Chios. Now we are raising money to fund 2500 pairs of underwear! 950 mens, 800 womens and 750 childrens who are currently resident in the Eleonas refugee camp in Athens.
Many refugees are still arriving in Greece, and around 60,000 are estimated to be there at the moment, unable to move on due to border closures, and a painfully slow asylum application process. Many arrive having lost everything, and their only possessions with them- the clothes on their backs.
Many have been trapped in Greece for a considerable time and have had to rebuild some sort of a life in terrible conditions in camps. ASN Team UK has been helping refugees in Greece since 2015 by supporting provisions of essential aid, food, water, education, accommodation, medical supplies and hygiene items amongst many other necessary things. We have funded the purchase of over 3000 pairs of underwear for distribution in camps in Chios and Athens.
We want to do the same again, but this time for the residents of a camp in Athens where supplies are extremly low. Imagine having to get by with just a couple of pairs of underwear day in, day out. Eleonas refugee camp in Athens is currently home to over 2000 residents. It's here that we want to fund 1750 pairs of adults underwear, and 750 pairs of childrens underwear in collaboration with The Unmentionables.
Please be a part of something amazing and help us reach our goal by donating the cost of a pair, or some pairs of underwear. Donating to buy 1 pair costs less than a coffee. If you're a UK tax payer- please gift aid your donation to make it go even further. Let's do this!
