MOTG Lesvos

Imagine a future where those who have escaped war and persecution arrive at a place of warmth, community, and sustenance. A place where a hot meal and a cup of chai aren’t just provisions but symbols of hope and a better tomorrow. That place could be a reality on the island of Lesvos, and we have the power to help build it.

Tucked just off the main road between town and camp, Movement on the Ground's Ergon Education and Community Center is a place of respite, community, and opportunity. Those most vulnerable in Greece can come to build their skills and expand their knowledge any day of the week, with 25+ weekly classes spanning English, computer skills, vocational training, and more.

At the heart of Ergon is the community kitchen, run and managed by a team of passionate Community Volunteers - residents from camp dedicating their time to serve their neighbors and friends. Every day, we serve up to 100 students, fueling their efforts to further their minds and commitment to bettering their futures.
