Our Branches
Greece
Our operational branch is located in Greece. It consists of two premises housing our clothing store, a community center, as well as a community garden within 10 minutes of Kavala Camp.
Norway
As the founders of NLA are Norwegian, the organization has retained a strong connection to Norway. Our Norwegian branch is primarily responsible for domestic fundraising, raising awareness, and forging local partnerships.
Switzerland
With strong links to Switzerland forged through both our President and our Director of Operations, we opened our Swiss Branch in 2020. Much like the Norwegian branch, its primary responsibilities are fundraising and raising awareness.
