Athens, Greece

Refugees and asylum seekers come to Greece hoping to find peace, safety and a better future. But what they experience upon arrival is more uncertainty and struggle. Living conditions are crowded. Access to adequate nutrition is limited. They receive little help from the government and relief agencies.They struggle to find a safe place to sleep and a way to feed their families. To make matters worse, the current economic crisis in Greece makes finding work next to impossible. It is little wonder than many refugees struggle to keep hope alive.
