Energy for Refugees

The challenge

The refugee problem is a humanitarian crisis which has left NGOs overburdened with responsibilities. This project wants to address one of the most important problems in the refugee camps in Greece, access to reliable energy.

The solution

Our purpose is to use sustainable technologies to solve this problem, making a real impact on refugee camps. We want to improve people’s lives in the camps, contribute to solving the energy problem which will allow sustainable development. We aim to reduce the dependency on fossil fuels from public parties and make the camps more autonomous while engaging the camp residents for setting up this system and later maintaining it by themselves.
