WHO IS PROJECT ARMONIA?
We are a non-profit organisation acting in solidarity with displaced people to promote equal access to nutrition and education. For the past two years, we have operated a free restaurant that served over 1000 healthy and nutritious meals per day to displaced people on the hotspot island of Samos. We have worked with a diverse team of 29 different nationalities.
