Katerina and Nikos are the creators of the extraordinary project Home for All. Since the end of 2014, they have given up everything to dedicate their time to refugees fleeing war. Home for All is exactly what its name suggests – A PLACE FOR EVERYONE. Here people, exhausted from months of wandering and escaping war, can find a moment of rest, enjoy a warm meal prepared by Katerina, and feel at home.
A few years ago Katerina and Nikos were running a small business, a tavern for tourists and locals. But when the first boats with migrants appeared off the coast of the island, they responded to the crisis right away. Every day, they prepare several hundred hot meals and deliver them to the camp.
They share everything they have with anyone in need. Literally!
Katerina and Nikos didn’t stop at providing refugees with basic necessities—they went further. They created Home Village, a farm where those seeking refuge in Europe can work, learn agricultural skills, and supply the local market with organic produce, as well as produce exceptional, organic olive oil. Through this initiative, they aim to show the true face of refugees. They want to prove that they haven’t come here to push others aside and do nothing. They have come to work, to be self-sufficient, independent, and to provide a sense of security for their families.
In their fight for human rights, Katerina and Nikos never stop for a moment. Here at Good Factory, we have no doubt that they should have had the Nobel Peace Prize in their hands long ago.
