Bienvenue
Provide a safe space for refugees to rest, learn, feel empowered and grow.
LGBTQ+ support work
The LGBTQ Project at Za’atar is a social initiative that takes steps to extend supportive provisions to the LGBTQ refugee population.
Livelihoods’ support
In Greece, there exist limited organizations that assist refugees to build not just a livelihood, but a self-sufficient livelihood. Za’atar aims to change that narrative by helping our beneficiaries find paying work so that they no longer have to rely on the charitable services Za’atar offers.
Environment's protection
We care a lot about the environment's protection and are trying as much as we can to increase our efforts. Here are some of the things that we are implementing at our day-center and at our social restaurant.
Breastfeeding
Breastfeeding could prevent 800 000 deaths per year (The Lancet). It is a cheap, convenient, hygienic, and readily available food source for children. Even for the mother, breastfeeding reduces risks of postpartum depression, bleeding and infections but also breast and ovarian cancers.
Advocacy work and conference
Dedicated to the protection, support, social inclusion and empowerment of refugees, asylum seekers and migrants, Za’atar NGO is determined to advocate for and with them so that both policies and minds evolve for the better.
