Overview
​
Kara Tepe II Refugee Camp on the island of Lesvos, Greece was quickly constructed after a devastating fire destroyed the former camp, Moria . Displacement, trauma, extreme overcrowding, and unsanitary conditions make life within these camps dangerous and stressful.

In the midst of such desperate circumstances, physical and mental health have largely fallen by the wayside, despite their vital importance. Refugees are deprived of opportunities to build physical fitness, access counseling and mental health resources, develop peace and friendships across cultures, and generally escape the day-to-day realities of the camp.

To address these needs, WWBT, in collaboration with numerous NGOs, local instructors, and teachers from within the camp will share their gifts at this center this safe space 1.5 km outside of the camp. Our project aims to help provide individuals with ways to find purpose and growth, as well as a sense of belonging and community.
