Provide education for refugees in Greece!

Donation protected
The refugee crisis has affected millions of people all over the world.


The UNHCR (United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees) has estimated the number of displaced people to be more than 68 million.


In addition, UNHCR estimates that about half of that number is made up of children below 18 years old, who are directly affected by displacement in many ways, including by the difficulty to access quality education as they migrate.


In 2016, the United Nations estimated that 3,5 million refugee children did not have access to education. In 2017, this number increased by half a million, which makes refugee children 5 times more likely to be out of school.


When my friends and I learned about this global problem, we decided to do something about it.


So we created RefEd, an application designed to reduce the gap of access to education among refugee children. Our app has a math module with over 160 problems, 30 videos e 4 characters that will guide students through the platform.



After researching, talking to several specialists and developing our pilot, we are ready to start impacting refugees who have limited access to education.


However, we cannot do it alone, and we would love to count on you.


Currently, we are raising funds to cover trip expenses to apply our pilot with 150 refugee children aged 9 to 13 in Athens, Greece, through a partnership with Seeds of Humanity, a Greece-based organization that provides various means of assistance to refugees in Eastern Europe. We are planning on leaving on June 2nd and returning on August 2nd.



Our goal is to raise $8,756. We suggest donations of $25, $35, $50 or $100. However, any amount will be of great help.

Here is our cost breakdown:


With your donation, along with donations from other people who believe in our work, we will be able to provide interactive and accessible education to children refugees in Greece.



So, will you help us reach refugees in Greece? :)
