Go Project Hope is focused on the humanitarian crisis in Gaza. Over the last 50 days, 1.7 million people have been displaced, with thousands killed and even more injured. A lack of food, clean water and medical supplies has caused an unprecedented humanitarian crisis, and starvation is knocking on the doors. We are working with organizations in Cairo to provide humanitarian aid, food, and medical supplies into Gaza.
Partnership of Project Hope: A Health and Education Initiative with Kitrinos Hellas
We are excited to announce our partnership with Kitrinos Hellas in Greece. Together, this alliance will provide essential healthcare to migrants and refugees while allowing Kitrinos Hellas to continue its response to the humanitarian crisis in Greece through its health and medical programs.
Go Project Hope (GPH) has been working with migrants and refugees in Greece since 2016. We continue to provide health, education, living improvement and mindful initiatives that serve children and families during this challenging time. GPH has collaborated with various aid agencies and NGO’S in Greece in the past to improve the safety, health, and education of refugees through various projects and campaigns initiated in the camps.
In 2022 GPH visited the Kitrinos Hellas clinic in Athens Greece. We are proud to support the medical teams in Athens and Lesvos. The support will help the clinics continue their important work of providing healthcare to the migrants and refugees pending asylum and resettlement.
During our visit to the clinic in Athens, GPH launched our Camp Care Comic Campaign. Camp Care Comics is a series of educational comic booklets and health kits that provides life lessons to children five years and up in a fun and entertaining format. The comics uses colorful graphics and smart conversation about the health risks refugee children face daily. The Comics with its female superhero Azhar, tackles subjects like stress, safety, handwashing, lice, and scabies.
