Safe Place International

SafePlace International has supported LGBTQ and doubly marginalized refugees in Greece with shelter, food and a comprehensive trauma-informed cultural integration program over the past 3 years. In that time, we have developed policies, systems and best practices that have been fine-tuned to recognize the unique needs of this community as we have grown the number of new shelter apartments and expanded programming in our new community center. We have engaged with a network grassroots organizations and volunteer efforts across the world to share our evolving best practices, as well as providing monetary and organizational consulting to these efforts to serve doubly marginalized refugees around the world. As new critical situations have emerged, we have rapidly responded in efforts to meet the immediate needs of, particularly vulnerable refugee populations. These efforts have been executed under our Global Family program that is strongly committed to empowering groups already addressing local or regional crises with the structural and monetary tools they need to improve their efficiency and ultimate outcomes. Global Family has deployed successful projects and support in Bangladesh. Nepal, Mexico, India, Turkey, and Greece. Global Family is actively supporting organizations in Mexico, India, Turkey, and Greece currently and would like to offer assistance to many more grassroots efforts and organizations around the world.
