Make a difference with your donation!
Donate now!
Why donate? We rely on donations to buy medical equipment, disposables and medication. We keep our overhead costs to the absolute minimum. With your support we are able to provide primary health care to displaced people where no one else does. Approximately 50% of our patients are unregistered refugees and are not eligible for local health services. This is why our work is so important!

We are happy about every donation that helps us fulfil our lawful purpose, namely helping people in need! If you make a donation intended for a specific project or for one of our locations, we will make every effort to use it for that purpose.
If this is not possible, your donation will be used for other projects or locations that are also in need of funding.
The easiest way to help us is with a so-called “general” donation, i.e. a donation that does not have a specific purpose. To do this, you can simply state the keyword “worldwide aid” when making your donation.
Quaranteam – Our volunteer Fabienne telling about her time in quarantine
Corona has turned many things upside down, including the start of our volunteers on site. Until recently, volunteers had to quarantine in one of our accommodations before they could start working with the team. In our MVI – QUARANTEAM Edition, we introduce you to new arrivals who are or have been in quarantine due to […]

A heartwarming story from Thessaloniki.
In challenging times like these, it is good to hear stories that tell of humanity and mutual support. Thanks to our tireless Medical Volunteers in Thessaloniki, we can tell such a story: a young man from Pakistan had to ask our team for medical help in July due to an almost completely shattered shoulder. After […]
Update from Lesvos
Medical Volunteers are getting back to regular medical work on Lesbos again starting from November. After the fire during the night of September 9th, the island was in chaos. First, the refugees had to stay on the streets for ten days in the sun and the hot temperatures, without having enough water to drink and […]
Physio-Center on Lesbos complements MVI’s offer
No one has continuously provided physiotherapy for refugees, so we are now the first one to offer this specific kind of support. Most of our patients suffer from chronic back, neck and shoulder pain. Most of this pain is due to injuries caused by the living conditions at Moria Camp, lack of physical activity, bad […]

In particular, refugees who are staying there illegally and therefore have no access to health care are being supported by MVI. But how does the work actually unfold? What are the […]
Regular supporters needed!
To be able to provide support for approx. 800 patients week by week in Greece we need to organise enough volunteers – that’s why we need donations. Also the ambulance, rental cars, medication and accommodation cost money. Even if this is only a tiny portion of the costs for a professional organisation with paid staff […]
