Lighthouse Relief is a nonprofit humanitarian organization that aims to fill gaps in humanitarian protection for people seeking refuge. With the escalation of conflict in Syria and other disruptive occurrences in 2015, an unprecedented number of people worldwide were displaced, driving 1. 3 million to seek asylum in Europe.

Almost half of these refugees arrived via the village of Skala Sikamineas on the north shore of Lesvos. However, the fishing village's 140 residents struggled to support so many people in urgent need of food, shelter, clothing, and medical care. In response, Lighthouse Relief was formed in September 2015.

Volunteers from Sweden, Norway, Syria, Spain, and the UK coordinated the first round-the-clock emergency response, providing warm blankets, treatment for hypothermia, hot meals, and other essential support. Since then, Lighthouse Relief has evolved its services to meet shifting needs and circumstances, while remaining committed to providing safe harbor per International refugee law and fundamental human decency. Lighthouse Relief is a nonprofit organization with no political or religious affiliation.

They rely on the generosity of individual donors and grants from private philanthropic institutions to continue their vital work
