Our Mission:
HEALING LESVOS
A powerful not-for-profit organisation and initiative bringing together the best of humanity to spark sustainable solutions for change on Lesvos and protect our ocean – now and in the future.
Our Mission
Working closely with our stakeholders and partners, we’re developing both short and long-term solutions to help heal Lesvos and to protect our ocean life. Based on everything the island stands for, we’re creating a continuous evolving concept that not only defines our new identity, but also our vision for the future.
“Lesvos needs our support. The support of Greek business owners, creative thinkers, designers and builders. We should use the power of entrepreneurs to initiate changes and build a valuable venture.”
George | Vegan restaurant owner in Greece
PROJECTS

nEW fORMS OF tOURISM
Introducing new forms of leisure like athletic, eco, research, educational, medical, wellness and emotional-experiential tourism, as well as social volunteerism. This of course also includes activities for outdoor adventurers, yoga and spiritual explorers and entrepreneurs.
AUTHENTIC LANDSCAPE
In 2011 all of Lesvos was declared a UNESCO Geopark. This includes beautiful sites like the wetlands, petrified forest, natural thermal springs and exquisite wildlife and woodlands. We need to preserve our landscape – while attracting more visitors.

vACANT pROPERTIES
Countless square metres of real estate on Lesvos are empty. Vacant buildings drain the area of life, interaction and economy. What benefits can be created for Lesvos if these empty spaces, homes and stores are approached and occupied differently?
UPCYCLING WASTE MATERIALS
Recycling the excessive amount of waste left by the immigrant crisis into functional consumer products. This will stimulate employment and create extra revenues that can be used for other sustainable community initiatives.
