According to Poland’s Humanitarian Aid Minister Beata Kempa, the project may benefit some 4,000 families, or around 20,000 people in total, in refugee camps in Greece, both on the islands and the country’s mainland.
The 1 PLN million (EUR 230,000) project has been financed by the Polish Prime Minister’s Office together with the Father Werenfried Foundation and the Orthodox Church in Poland.
