About PILAglobal
PILA is a not for profit organisation based initially in Los Angeles with now global reach created by founder Alise Shafer Ivey. PILA through its Nest initiative, provides education for young children and families that have been affected by displacement. The first Nest was a play space for young asylum-seekers living in the Moria refugee camp on the Greek island of Lesvos set up in early 2018. Since then, responding to needs as they arise, PILA has built additional Nests in Greece, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Zimbabwe, and Mexico.
