Offene Arme e.V. is the registered name of our organisation that is based in Germany. Since 2018, it has also been registered in Greece. Before this, we were known as Chios Eastern Shore Response Team (CESRT). Offene Arme is the only remaining NGO on Chios that is continuously providing Non-Food Items including essentials like clothing, shoes, and hygiene items to asylum seekers and refugees via our Free shop and distributions outside Vial refugee camp. The team does not run any projects inside Vial.
