CHLOE - Humanity in a humanitarian crisis

Team Lead for the Help Refugees (https://helprefugees.org/calais/) and coordinator for Utopia 56 (http://www.utopia56.com/en), Chloe Jacout shares her experiences of working within the refugee community in Calais, the material vulnerabilities project she manages along with the human aspects to humanitarian aid work. Help Refugees is a UK-based non-governmental organisation which provides humanitarian aid to, and advocacy for, refugees around the world. In 2016, it became the largest grassroots distributor of aid in Europe. Utopia 56 is an association created in January 2016 in Brittany to manage volunteers over the Calais jungle. The association then managed the first humanitarian camp in France when it opened in Grande-Synthe near Dunkirk from March to September 2016. With more than 9,000 members, U56 shelter's teenagers without their parents, we help with food distribution and sleeping bags both in Paris and Calais. They also operate in several other regions of France including Quimper, Toulouse, Lille, Saint Brieuc, Lyon etc.
