Why we do what we do
We are motivated by deep reverence and respect for our shared humanity and vulnerability, and by a sense of responsibility to participate in a meaningful way toward alleviating international and global crises. We strive to preserve human dignity and to stand in solidarity as one human family.

Brief background regarding our current project
Through collaboration and sponsorship, we make higher education accessible to individuals displaced by war and crisis.
As the situation for refugees in Greece endures and continues, relief aid is still necessary and important. LERRN aims to provide the next level of support and opportunity, with an eye toward the future. We sponsor qualified students to attend university level classes, and we help to match students with individual sponsors. We’ve created a program with Webster University Athens whereby we match the university’s own scholarship program; Webster University offers a 50% scholarship to qualified candidates, and LERRN sponsors students for the remaining 50%.
