About Us
Bringing concrete help to displaced people living in Calais. Founded in 2016 by students of Maastricht University.
Join us as we raise money, clothing, and food donations for the NGOs working directly with the refugee camps in Calais and Dunkerque. We aim to raise awareness about the critical situation, where most people live in tents in informal camps and are subject to regular and often violent police evictions. After these evictions, we support the local NGOs by distributing clothes, tents, sleeping bags, and food as much as possible.
In the long run, we would like to make it possible for displaced people to live safely and with dignity.
