Zaatar Orange House

In Arabic ‘za’atar’ is a mix of herbs used daily in Middle Eastern cuisine. Just as the herbs combined together enhance the food they are cooked with so we believe that people with various backgrounds, skills and interests enrich each other too. We are an international and local team with various personal and professional backgrounds, speaking many languages and with a background in refugee-related work. Our co-founders are both Greek citizens.

United with volunteers from around the world, Zaatar’s guiding purpose is to assist refugees who are searching for a safe haven – peace and respite from war. Zaatar assists all refugees and asylum seekers with a focus on single women, mothers with children, and LGBTs.
