What is the i58 Read-a-Thon?
Our Read-a-Thon is a fundraiser that anyone can participate in to support our work among refugees in Europe. Readers spend 30 days reading and find people willing to sponsor them per page or by set donation. After sending their sponsored funds to us, they receive a prize based on the amount they’ve raised.
Funds raised through our Read-a-Thon will be applied toward field operations and administrative costs.

Who is i58?
Our Mission
To recruit, send, and organize relief workers, empowering them to provide aid and share hope to the refugees in Greece and beyond.
Refugee Camps
i58 volunteers serve inside refugee camps in Lesvos and Samos, Greece, in various capacities. Daily activities include shelter allocation, non-food item distributions, teaching English, and social care.
Community Centers
We have a community center located in Lesvos, Greece, as well as Neustadt and Giessen, Germany. In these community centers we serve tea, teach English, play games, and endeavor to bring hope to refugees in those towns.
…to loose the bonds of wickedness, to undo the straps of the yoke, to let the oppressed go free… to share your bread with the hungry…
Isaiah 58:6-7
