Saffron Kitchen Project

Kypseli, Athens

About Us.

Saffron Kitchen Project (SKP) was started to address a problem; the refugee community and vulnerable people in Athens are facing many obstacles such as lack of food, job opportunities as well as inadequate social inclusion.

Our solution is to create a path to employment through vocational culinary training as well as providing meals and job opportunities, to support displaced and vulnerable people in building a healthy, sustainable livelihood while integrating into the local community. From this we built our three pillars; Nourish, Train and Employ.

The Saffron Kitchen Project team is built from chefs hired from the refugee community, admin staff and dedicated volunteers, who work together from our culinary headquarters to ensure the smooth running of the project, upholding our values and solidarity with other actors on the ground.

Our Mission.

Our mission is to create a community and a pathway to employability for people from refugee backgrounds using food as the tool kit. A destination that leverages food so people can eat, cook, learn and most importantly, belong.

Target Group.

Vulnerable communities and displaced people.
This includes but is not limited to undocumented immigrants, asylum seekers, refugees, homeless, destitute people or other people unsupported by the wider framework of society.
