Zaatar's main project is the Orange House--a shelter for unaccompanied minors, single women and mothers with their children. In addition to being a shelter, the Orange House operates as a community centre for any refugees, offering language and other classes, healthcare and integration services, a mentoring network for LGBTQ refugees, and SIOPI, a program supporting refugees that have been imprisoned, often without sufficient evidence. See the website for further details on the Zaatar projects and stay in touch via our Facebook page. Zaatar is a registered NGO in Greece.

I volunteered with Zaatar's Orange House project for two weeks in February 2017. The Orange House is a shelter for women and children refugees, which also offers classes and activities for children and adult refugees in Athens during the day. Volunteers can do general refugee work, or they can teach their own classes or lead activities. The information I received about my stay beforehand was excellent and the volunteer's apartment was also very close to the Orange House. I had an amazing two weeks, and met some amazing people which I will remember for the rest of my life. Highly recommended.
