About us

Important notice:

Our Greek entity, Watershed Greece MKO, ceased operations on 31 December 2025. On 23 May 2026, the general assembly of Watershed e.V. resolved to dissolve the association, and we are currently in liquidation.

Donations

We make sure your donation goes where it is needed.

Access to clean water, a roof over your head, and decent sanitation – these things can easily be taken for granted, but they represent some of the most fundamental and pressing needs of people fleeing conflict and oppression. Since 2017, Watershed has been addressing these basic but vital needs for refugees arriving in Europe. Currently, our entire team is based on Lesvos, Greece and your donation will be used in current projects in the island’s main refugee camp.
