We must act now. Europe's largest refugee camp wa We must act now. Europe's largest refugee camp was destroyed in a fire over a week ago. As an organisation, we formed to respond to an unimaginable crisis. It is now five years later and the situation in the Aegean is still at a point of crisis. People who came seeking safety now face the threat of COVID and a winter in tents.  Join the call to evacuate these camps: wwww.change.org/p/european-commission-fire-moria-camp-call-for-urgent-evacuation-and-radical-change-2
Our incredible team!! We have been working really Our incredible team!! We have been working really hard to get everything ready for the winter distribution that we hope to start as soon as possible! Thanks to our incredible volunteers and their hard work, we will be able to start the winter distribution before winter starts. This is super important to ensure as many of our beneficiaries as possible have winter items in time for the cold weather. None of this would be possible without our incredible donors and supporters as well, so a huge thank you to all our donors and supporters 💜❤️💜❤️💜❤️
There go our last customers!💙 We are thrilled t There go our last customers!💙 We are thrilled to announce that over the last 10 weeks we have been able to distribute 95789 summer items to 4655 asylum seekers and refugees living in Chios. The team, made up of 30 different volunteers over this period, worked tirelessly to ensure that the service provided at the OADW were to the highest standard and that the experience for our shoppers was pleasant. This has been the biggest distribution ever carried out by Offene Arme, and to have achieved this while in a global pandemic which restricted the travel of volunteers - resulting in a small team on the ground - is no small feat. We could never have achieved this without the support of all our generous donors, who made it possible by sending us so many amazing supplies and financial support. We will now begin preparing for WINTER! It gets incredibly cold in Chios, and we will be supplying much-needed warm clothes to our beneficiaries, and we need your help! Please donate via PayPal at: https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/offenearme We aim to have the distribution warehouse open again in the next few weeks!💙
This week we have started apartment activities! W This week we have started apartment activities! We have spent the past two days focusing on making a space available for apartment residents to show their creativity. We have carried out arts and crafts whilst getting feedback from the residents on what they would most like these sessions to be! These are some of the creations we have seen the past couple of days 🙌
Our amazing team! It has been a great week for Of Our amazing team! It has been a great week for Offene Arme as we are starting to have more volunteers join us! Their hard work and commitment has allowed us to not only have more people helping at our project, The O.A. Distribution Warehouse, but also to have more people helping in the main warehouse. This has meant we have been more efficient and able to provide better customer service at the OADW and sort out many tasks at the main warehouse. With the increase in volunteers, we are also hoping to increase our opening hours and appointments at the OADW so we can serve more beneficiaries each week! If you would like to join our team, please email us at cesrt@offenearme.org and we will get back to you with information on volunteering as quickly as we can! A huge thank you to everyone for their ongoing support! 💜
Again this week our main activities have been at t Again this week our main activities have been at the OADW where we have managed to add a further 409 beneficiaries in 4 days, taking the total number of people we have served to 1807. We have now been open for 26 days and the statistics are very similar to last week, with 27% of the people we have served under the age of 14. We have given out a massive 44780 items, including towels, underwear, socks, shoes and hygiene kits. We try to have 6 volunteers working at the OADW most days which means each person gives out an average of 287 items each day. They are working so hard! This is the biggest distribution that Offene Arme e.V have done!! Our most popular item is still men’s T-shirts. Men’s bags all look very similar in terms of what they choose to take, but women and girls take a much greater variety of items which include abayas, dashikis, hijabs, dresses, trousers,leggings and joggers; alongside short and long sleeved tops. Most days it is now 30 degrees or above which means that cool, comfortable and modest clothing is essential. Children still continue to draw while waiting to go inside. On today's post you can see one of the more poignant drawings.
Last week at the OADW, many children drew pictures Last week at the OADW, many children drew pictures while they waited. Most were of princesses, houses and boats. We have started to display the artwork in our waiting area! So far at the OADW we have registered 1222 beneficiaries. 299 of these were under 14 and represents 24% of the total people we have served. Globally, children (under 18) make up 38-43% of the entire displaced population. We have been able to provide 240 packs of nappies to support parents of young children. Our most popular item is men’s t-shirts and it has been great giving our beneficiaries the opportunity to choose their own styles from the amazing donations we have had from across the world. We have provided 1692 men’s t-shirts during our second week of opening. These, along with the other clothing, hygiene and children’s toys we have made available are making a huge difference to everyone who has had an appointment so far. We can’t wait to help provide the rest of the beneficiary population on Chios with supplies. We use the @boxtribute_ngo system to track who we serve and what they take, all whilst keeping their personal information safe. This has only been possible with the support of you, our donors and supports and our current small team of volunteers which will soon start to grow again!
While most of our team is working at our new proje While most of our team is working at our new project, warehouse tasks continue! We have changed how our warehouse is set up so it functions in a way that is most effective for getting supplies to The O.A. Our warehouse coordinator and some incredible local volunteers are helping to keep things moving. They spend their days sorting through donations, making hygiene packs and getting supplies ready for The O.A. With such a small team it is difficult to keep on top of the work, but our small team left is very strong and keeping on top of it 💪 A huge thank you to all of our supporters and donors who's support helps keep us going!! 💜

THE OADW IS OPEN!!!❤️❤️❤️ If you would THE OADW IS OPEN!!!❤️❤️❤️ If you would like to support us, follow the link in our bio 💜 Last week, thanks to our cooperation with IOM and the Reception & Identification Service (RIS), we were able to open our free shop, The OA Distribution Warehouse, for all of the unaccompanied minors (UAMs) residing in Vial camp. We gave tickets to the managers of both IOM and RIS who alloted times and days for the UAMs under their respective protection to come to The OA to shop. Following COVID-19 restrictions outlined by the Greek authorities, as the minors entered our space, we checked their temperature and provided them with antibacterial gel, gloves and a face mask. Within our shop space, given the size of the space, we are restricted to having a maximum of 10 people at any one time inside. Everyone can choose either 5, 6 or 8 'big' pieces of clothing (i.e. T-shirts, dresses, jeans, shorts, long sleeve tops, abayas and hijabs) depending on age and gender. In addition to this, everyone got 4 pieces of underwear, a towel, a pair of socks, a pair of sunglasses, a summer hat, a hygiene pack, 2 bin bags and a pair of brand new footwear. We are able to have a wide selection of clothes in many different sizes, nicely spaced out so shoppers had the space, as well as time, to choose what they wanted. We would like to say a huge thank you to the team for putting in such a great effort, to get The OA up and running so smoothly ❤️ None of this would be possible without all of our donors and supporters. On behalf of Offene Arme e.V. we wish to thank everyone associated with us. We will, as ever, continue support asylum seekers in Chios in whatever capacity we can, whilst strictly adhering to the government's COVID-19 regulations.

Baby baskets! At the beginning of the month we pr Baby baskets! At the beginning of the month we prepared 20 baskets for new borns and their mothers. We now have just 8 left! These baskets are given to women who have just given birth. They include: a milk bottle, two dummies, sudocrem, nappies, baby bathing products, a few changes of newborn clothes, a teddy bear, and a care package for the mother, all inside a Moses basket with bedding. We hope these baskets slightly ease the first month for these new mothers. Having a new born can be overwhelming for anyone. Being in a situation of uncertainty and lack of security, among many other issues that our beneficiaries are faced with can only make the task of raising a child even more overwhelming.
Apartment Distribution. We continue to work 6 day Apartment Distribution. We continue to work 6 days a week, providing what support we can. We continue with our apartment distribution project where we supply to self-funded apartments on the island. At the moment we are focusing on distributing hygiene supplies to help people in apartments stay safe during the pandemic. Our hygiene packs include soap, detergent, toothpaste, shampoo and razors. As well as sanitary towels for the women and diapers for the babies. We also include activities and toys for children to keep them entertained during the lockdown measures.
We are still here! In Chios, we now have a very s We are still here! In Chios, we now have a very small team. Following some turbulent times, we have continued to adjust our organisation and projects so we can continue to support the people that need it most. We still work from our warehouse, supplying organisations with many items including hygiene supplies. We also began self-funded apartment distribution. While our Vial based projects and landings project have had to stop due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we remain hopeful that these can be restarted in the not so distant future. Thank you to everyone for your ongoing support and understanding during these difficult times! 💜
We at Offene Arme e.V/Cesrt want to thank each an We at Offene Arme e.V/Cesrt want to thank each and every one of you for your kindness and concern during the tumultuous experiences of the last month. As you know, times are always difficult working in this field but, recently, it has been especially tough for us. We have really appreciated all of your messages of concern and kindness, and your offers of support. Your words have reminded us how lucky we are to have a huge, global Offene Arme e.V/Cesrt family who are with us always. Many crises have hit us at one time and, as a result, we decided it is was wise to reduce our operational capacity in the short term. Though we continue with our emergency projects, our team on site is now much smaller. We want you to know we are taking all safety measures necessary to keep our volunteers safe and we are constantly carefully considering our next steps as we feel the effects of political turmoil, civil unrest and the risk of coronavirus. We are prepared that we may also have to cease our operations if the government demands this. At this time, we are really sad to announce that we will not accept any new volunteers until the situation here has been resolved. With the health risk across Europe we do not want to put any person at risk during this time. We have thought about these actions carefully and we feel it is for the best in order to reduce the chance of virus exposure to all vulnerable persons on the island. These are the people that we serve and provide for - it would be irresponsible of us to act in any other way. We really hope you understand and we will let you know when we are ready to take volunteers again. We look forward to meeting you in the future!!
Landings: 24.02 We received a call from SMH at 2. Landings: 24.02 We received a call from SMH at 2.30 AM about a Landing at Chios Port 3 people in total from Eritrea, Syria and Niger. Breakdown: 3 x men Though a small Landing, this was a difficult incident as all three men were soaking wet. As a point of priority we gave thermal blankets and extra clothing. All men got changed immediately in the tents we provided. Amazing team effort. We recieved a second call from SMH at 7.20 AM near Kardalmyla at Giosonas Beach Total of 40 people from Sudan, Kuwait, Uganda, Syria, Somalia Breakdown: 9 x children 15 x women 16 x men This was a beach Landing far up in the North of the island. It was a fairly positive Landing with most people dry and in good spirits. We gave everyone what they needed including hijabs and baby clothes. The team worked calmly and efficiently. Whilst at this Landing we were told another boat was being transferred to Chios Port, more details to follow... We recieved a call from SMH at 9.10 AM whilst attending a Landing in the north, informing us of a third Landing at Chios Port. Total of 35 people from Congo, Somalia and Syria. Breakdown: 3 x children 14 x women 18 x men We distributed water straight away and ensured that everyone got a clothes pack and a coat. Extra clothes were given, as well as maternity packs to all pregnant women (of which there were many). We gave food and juice to everyone. Everyone was safe. Great response team!! Once more, thanks to SMH and Port Police for cooperation 🕊
Beach Clean Up. When there is a beach landing we Beach Clean Up. When there is a beach landing we send a team afterwards to clear what is left behind. Items include the boat, lifejackets and other rubbish. This can be a difficult job as you see the items that belonged to people arriving, often children's small inflatable life jackets and papers that are no longer considered to be important. We keep the material from the boats to be upcycled by other projects and also do a general beach clean. We hope this will help to protect the environment and keep the islands beaches clean for locals.
Landing. Received a call from SMH at 09:45 this m Landing. Received a call from SMH at 09:45 this morning about a landing just south of Nenita. 28 people in total: 17 children, 5 women, 6 men; from Syria and Iraq. On the way to the landing, heavy rain started and by the time we got to the landing many were very wet. The team responded by immediately giving out rain ponchos and getting the children changed first. We then gave towels and coats to keep people dry as well as water, croissants, fruitcakes, juice, clothes, blankets and nappies, wet wipes & sudocrem for babies. Thankfully, the sun came out half-way through the landing, meaning we were able to get people changed. Dispute the difficult conditions those we distributed to were all safe and the team remained focused and worked extremely well considering the weather. Thank you to SMH for their help and support at this landing, as well as the police for their patience.
