Good question. First of all, I want this project to benefit both Greeks and refugees. That is why I will work with greek suppliers and partners. For instance the printing will be done by a greek company and we will sew the T-shirt.

The refugees will not be undocumented btw. They will have a staying permit in Greece and have the legal rights to work in Greece.

And in the end, we have to try to help everybody... If some people suffer, we all suffer.

Yeah, I'm looking into that. In Greece there is also something called a Social Cooperative Enterprise, this could be a great legal form to use as well.

In many countries not, but in Greece they changed the law a couple of years ago. And if they are at a certain step in the process of asylum, they are legally allowed to work.

Good question. I've never been in a sweatshop in a less developed country. So I don't know for sure how things are there.

Some things you hear is that people are underpaid, and work in unsafe environments. We will of course provide a safe environment and a good salary. Next to that I really want to help people back on their feet, so providing trainings and courses that helps them to develop.

Hahaha. They won't be cheap, because I want to provide the people we work with a good salary. And make them less exploitable by providing them with a steady job. That's the goal of the project...

What could go wrong? Lots of things!! But if I only worry about all that I would never start anything.
