Crete for life

Our Mission

We are a registered charitable organization based in Greece. Our aim is to host children in need who are victims of war, chemical and natural disasters, on recuperative holidays on the island of Crete, where we hope to help restore their health and their spirit. After the holiday, we continue helping these children back in their home countries, aiming to improve their quality of life and their future prospects.

Crete is situated at the most southern point of Europe; it is famous for its beautiful scenery and wonderful climate, healthy local cuisine, and the company of people who are justly renowned for their friendliness and hospitality. To many disadvantaged children a recuperative and restoring break in our summer camp in south-east Crete can make a world of difference.  A holiday can change a life !
