From little things, big things grow. 🌱

This time last year, #Moria camp held close to 5,000 residents. Now, the camp is ‘home’ to close to 20,000 residents, a majority living in the unstable Olive Groves outside of the camp.
.
Our goal since we declared a state of emergency on the situation on Lesvos back in August last year, was to improve the living conditions for the people in the Olive Groves, and we can now say, we are well on the way to realising this. .
These before and after shots show our progress since October last year. Since then, we have helped to improve the living conditions for 2,000 residents in the Olive Groves, and our goal is to help many, many more.
.
Simple solutions like gravelling the ground, providing pallets and installing wash units, have already make an impact upon residents’ livelihood, but we need to achieve a lot more in order to create bigger impact!
.
So if you’re interested in contributing to the growth of our mission and the livelihood of our residents, head to our #linkinbio for more info on how you can get involved!

In part four of the @cruyfffoundation visit to #Lesvos – which aired last month on @rtl4 – @johnnydemolofficial and Susila Cruyff continue their visit at the Spanos football fields. During this episode, Susila speaks with a young female resident who shares her story of fleeing her home three years ago and how football is now having a real positive impact on her life.
.
A big thanks to the Johan Cruyff Foundation for visiting us for and for planning with us to build three safe play areas on Lesvos and Samos, and to the @postcodelotterie for granting us with the funds to make this project happen.

#CampToCampUs #dignityforall Lesvos, Greece / 4th March 2020
.
The situation on the Greek borders has escalated to an unprecedented, volatile scene as Turkey opened its borders to thousands of #refugees trying to cross #borders and perilous waters, causing the Greek border control to take extreme measures to prevent people from fleeing into Europe/Greece.
.
Long, built-up tensions and frustrations regarding the #EU’s neglect, plans for new, large closed refugee camps and a polarising migration policy have given way to extremist groups to erupt into aggression and hostility targeting local authorities, refugees, #NGO aid-workers and Greeks in solidarity. Due to violent attacks on aid-workers, NGO’s have been forced to suspend their presence or humanitarian activities on the island of #Lesvos. THIS IS #UNACCEPTABLE!
.
EU billions have been spent through established structures and on unsustainable agreements with third party countries, yet no impact has been made. Local communities have been neglected, refugee lives have been lost and polarising populism fuelled. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE!
.
For the past five years, Movement On The Ground has been leading by example to make an impactful, positive change on Lesvos whilst also witnessing the situation deteriorate for both the hosted and hosting community. Our continued outcries for a different approach to #migration policy makers and solutions to unnecessary hardships on the islands have not been heard, and today, our worst predications have unfortunately become a reality. What once was an island of solidarity, with the people of Lesvos being nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize in 2016, has now been taken hostage by a hostile minority that is conducting an attack on #humanity. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE!
.
Today, we reiterate our message to the European Council, “Europe’s refugee and migration policy is UNSUSTAINABLE and UNACCEPTABLE and THIS NEEDS TO CHANGE, IMMEDIATELY!”
