Stand By Me Lesvos
Stand By Me Lesvos is a local Non Profit Organisation in Lesvos which works under the principles of empowerment, self-help and education.
„We are local teachers, professors, and small business owners working with refugees. Together, we want to create an opportunity where refugees can improve their education, learn and grow their skill sets.
While international NGOs come and go, here in Lesvos: We live here, we share our home with the refugees and our commitment and our projects are for the long term.“
