BAAS Community Centre

Be Aware And Share

Our Community Centre is a meeting place for refugees and asylum seekers in Ioannina, for the fluctuating 2,000 people living in the nearby refugee camps and for the local population. Our centre offers various services such as language and computer classes, a free clothing store (the only NGO distribution in the area), kids activities, a women’s space, WASH services, a space for legal advice organisations to visit and many social creative activities. As an organisation, we aim to fill the gaps within people’s basic needs through the provision of material support, social activities and learning opportunities. All our services adapt and evolve to the requests and needs of those we support. Our services both provide the people with basic necessities to support a dignified life in the short term and give them the means to learn new skills; placing them in a better position to progress in other aspects of their lives and break dependency cycles.
