Hi friends,
Samos Volunteers has held a special place in my heart ever since I volunteered with them in summer 2023. The entire SV community is in urgent need of support to ensure that they can continue their incredible—and sadly still very essential—work with refugees and asylum seekers on Samos, Greece.

I’ll be running the Istanbul Half Marathon (21 km) on 19 April, and if you’d like to support my run and help Samos Volunteers continue their work, I’d be very grateful about any donation. 

Thank you:)

Hello, SV Community! 

Samos Volunteers is a grassroots NGO supporting refugees and asylum seekers on the Greek island of Samos. A team of volunteers from all over the world provides psycho-social support, informal education and clothes and shoes.

Alpha Centre is our safe, dignified, and creative space for everyone. It is the go-to community space for people living in the refugee camp. 

Right next door we have our Free Shop, where people are invited to come and choose the clothing and shoes they feel most comfortable in.

At Alpha Land, only a five minute walk from the camp, we offer informal education, such as language classes, as well as workshops. We run sports activities, art and music workshops, and a gardening project.

We also support the LGBTQI+ community and offer a women's space. 

The work of Samos Volunteers relies heavily on private donations, which is why we are extremely grateful for your support. Thank you for your trust in our work.
