Wave of Hope for the Future

The Wave of Hope for the Future's  team includes a group of refugees and asylum seekers at Greece’s largest refugee camp on the island of Lesvos (Camp Moria). Together with a few volunteers, the WHF team works towards addressing the educational needs of vulnerable people living in the camp – especially children, youth and women.

The principle behind WHF is to create a project by refugees and asylum seekers for refugees and asylum seekers. This approach allows WHF to better understand, and work with, the daily struggles that people in Camp Moria face. 

The founder of WHF (Zekria Farzad, who arrived to Lesvos with his family a couple months ago) started the initiative by bringing a highly motivated, supportive and qualified team together to develop WHF activities on the ground, independent from other organisations on the island. Initially, WHF started its work in the education sector by establishing English language classes and literacy classes inside and outside the camp.
