Millions of people have fled their homes countries over the last few years, seeking safety in Greece, Jordan, Lebanon, Turkey and beyond.

The projects have already brought over 250 volunteers from 25+ countries to do everything from teaching languages to unaccompanied minors, to handing out food and more.
