Project summary
In Calais there are more than 5000 refugees stuck in
makeshift camps, with nothing but the clothes on their backs and the few items
that have so far been distributed by volunteers. The tents are unsuitable for
living in, especially in the cold and wet - and there is a lack of food,
especially nutritious, healthy, fresh produce. People are cold, damp and hungry
and the lack of food is causing further unrest and conflict within the camps as
people's needs drive them to desperation.
Earlier in the year, the founder was invited to Calais to
cook for 400 refugees by Norman, Harriet, Azrat, Chloe, Bilal and Faisal - all
of whom are still helping refugees in Calais. The meal consisted of simple
beans, couscous and bread. He was so moved by the resilience and determination
of these people who had nothing. From
there decided then that he had to go back, but do this on a much larger scale
The money people
donate will become food and warmth for refugees this winter. Every penny will
go towards feeding 2000 people and providing clean water and warm blankets to
the most needy. They will be cooking in the new camp kitchen that has been
separately funded and constructed specifically for this kind of purpose.
