About us.
We will not stop until Europe cares.
Together, we aim to mobilize the civil society in Europe and stand in solidarity with people on the move.
Our story
From a grassroots initiative to a humanitarian organization.
The story of Europe Cares began when the global pandemic in 2020 put the world to a halt. As a small initiative of humanitarian activists across Europe, we wanted to show that people in Moria Camp on Lesvos were not forgotten - by collecting and sending humanitarian aid and critical supplies.
Since then, we have become a humanitarian organization with the mission to support people on the move and stand up for human rights on the European borders.
