With the continued support of donations from the Global Giving Foundation we have been able to continue to fund our wonderful partners We Are One on the island of Samos in Greece.
In their safe space for women and babies under two years old, We Are One offer food such as fruit, eggs, fresh salads, nuts, oranges and drinks for all visitors and additional food for pregnant women, and bananas for babies. Additionally, We Are One have just launched a Pregnant women only day every Monday, providing a nutritious meal and fresh salad nutritionally catered to all the needs of pregnant women who visit. Together with our partner, we are currently looking into options to start providing supplementary food for babies from 6- 24 months.
The food services provided by us are still an essential alternative for refugees on Samos. Food served in camp has a low nutritional value and does not cover the baisc dietry needs particularly of pregnant women. Camp residents can wait in line for hours to pick up a small portion of potatoes, bread and water. We will continue to provide additional nutritious and healthy food together with our partners in the absence of sufficient services.
Thank you to all of our supporters who #chooselove, together we are really making a difference. To read more about our work, you can find us on social media @helprefugeesuk or visit our website www.helprefugees.org
