Campaign Story
PIKPA refugee camp on the Greek island of Lesvos represents a new way to support refugees. But it’s now under threat of closure.
The PIKPA story is one of ordinary people, coming together to do what’s right. During the Greek economic crisis, people came together to support each other. But soon after, a large number of refugees began to arrive on the island. In response, this group began to take action.
The group hosted new arrivals themselves, on the site of PIKPA, an abandoned children’s summer camp. And soon they were hosting hundreds of refugees, in what became the first open, community-run refugee camp in Greece. PIKPA refugee camp was born.

Officialy under threat...
Update posted by Non Profit Greece at 12:46 pmLocal authorities have recently ordered the closure of the camp. This is the result of a health inspection which raised hygiene concerns in the site’s shared kitchen, a broken net in their food distribution area and a leaking water tank. For these reasons, it considers PIKPA camp a danger to. . . . .
