We support displaced persons by creating opportunity and fostering community through food.
We are a UK registered non-profit organisation that creates high quality, nutritious meals for vulnerable communities in Athens.
Inspired by multiple cultures and traditions, we aim to do three things simultaneously: Nourish, Train, Employ.
Our first pillar - Nourish – provides people with inventive meals in a sustainable way. We distribute to partner organisations throughout Athens ensuring the widest reach and delicious meals whilst avoiding food waste as much as possible.
The second pillar – Train – offers free culinary education and vocational training to members of the refugee and asylum seekers community in an effort to prepare our students for work in the hospitality industry. Our programme covers culinary skills as well as including soft skills training such as teamwork, leadership and time management. These trainings are in partnership with the IEK Delta and offer certified certification upon completion.
Finally, the third pillar – Employ – here we will help tackle unemployment in Athens by generating job opportunities for people from the refugee and host community.
Please note that meals are only accessible through our partner organisations, we do not give meals directly to individuals from our space.
All job opportunities or training registrations are promoted and shared throughout our social media and are available to refugees and asylum seekers. When a training is open for registration there is a simple form to fill out followed by an interview. The trainings are free of charge.
