Som una associació conformada per voluntaris i voluntàries, qui treballem per dignificar la vida de les persones refugiades i migrades tant a escala local com a escala global! Actuem a una Maternitat a Atenes que acull dones refugiades en situació de vulnerabilitat, als Campaments Sahrauís amb un projecte de millora del sistema educatiu a les escoles, al territori local amb accions de denúncia i xerrades de sensibilització, i amb enviaments de materials i menjar a diversos camps de refugiats.

Open Arms opens its arms to women, men, boys, girls and all those fleeing horror, looking for a chance. The humanitarian emergency in the Mediterranean does not stop and our mission is to protect the lives of the most vulnerable at sea, and on land continues. Working in schools on human rights and empathy and denouncing all injustices is our mission as well. From your hand we can prevent more deaths. We need each other. You are needed.

We are a small nonprofit association established in Spain as Asociación Española Habibi Center (www.habibicenter.org). We have been working in Greece since 2016 providing a safe space where refugee youth can participate in various educational activities through the English language (as well as preparing them for official Cambridge exams). In this space, our students also learn to express themselves and to acquire the tools necessary to obtain a brighter future.
