The Kesha Niya Project has been working out of the Grande Synthe refugee camp since its establishment in March 2016. We are a collaborative project between refugees and volunteers from all across the globe, who are working together to oversee key aspects of the running of the camp, such as the distribution of food and donations. Up until recently, the majority of our work within the camp has been focused on the kitchen . As of September 3rd our workload has greatly increased, as we have taken over a significant amount of responsibility within the camp. In spite of the added pressures this has created for our organisation, we view this as an extremely positive development and we are incredibly excited about the space this creates for allowing the refugees a greater voice in their own lives! Our kitchen is always busy, with our refugee chef team The Kurdish Brothers working around the clock, tirelessly producing delicious food 3 times a day for the camp’s 1000 residents. The kitchen has been fully equipped by RCK donations and this includes a bakery with one tandoori oven for making naan bread. We get donations from the international community and we are supported by L’Auberge des Migrants, RCK, Utopia 56, Rastplatz, IHA, No One Is Illegal, and Verein für eine Schönere Willkommenskultur. Please consider getting involved by volunteering your time, organizing a fundraiser or donating as an individual.
