Starfish Foundation, a registered non-profit organisation (NGO), was born when a group of friends and neighbours came together in 2015 to assist refugees landing on the shores of Lesvos during the greatest humanitarian crisis in Europe since the Second World War. Today, we collaborate with other organisations to meet the needs of the many vulnerable individuals and families stranded in Lesvos while waiting for their petitions for asylum to be processed. Together with local and international volunteers Starfish has welcomed and helped more than 200,000 people who arrived on Lesvos seeking a better life.
