Echo100Plus is a registered Austrian charity, which was founded in 2012 by a group of friends, most of them Austrians with strong ties to Greece, who were moved to take action when the scale and intensity of the growing economic and social crisis became apparent. We are providing assistance for people in precarious situations in Greece. We are focusing on arriving refugees and receiving communities. We are developing alternative models of cooperation and learning from each other in an increasing social climate of fear. Our mission is to empower and help build new perspectives for the people we support by engaging (international) volunteers thus strengthening civil society. Our emphasis is to establish 'spaces' and 'programs' to enable dialogue and equip/empower all our stakeholder and participants to self-improve their lives.

Better Days creates spaces and customizes quality humanitarian programs for unaccompanied minors and other refugees living in Greece. Some of our most successful projects, The Olive Grove/ Better Days for Moria (2015-16), Elpida Refugee Centre in Thessaloniki (2016) Medical & Legal Intervention in Moria camp (2017), TAPUAT Child & Family Hub (2018) and our flagship Gekko Kids. Currently, we operate four alternative educational projects on Lesvos; Gekko Kids, Socrates Sports & Development, Gekko X, and EcoHub projects. Furthermore, we continue to respond in emergencies on Lesvos, with particular focus on winterization and identification of unaccompanied children at risk, deprived of basic aid, legal support, and shelter. Our aim is to design humanitarian interventions and programs that are innovative for the field; challenging traditional notions of emergency education, de-victimizing the distribution of aid to affected communities, and enabling healing and recovery by customizing personalized solutions aiming in individual growth and personal capacity. Whether we are doing emergency response or quality education for refugee children, we continue to emphasize the importance of 'space' as a fundamental basis of allowing for healing, transformative education, the essence of participatory practices, and the collateral impact of individual flourishing within displaced communities on the move.
