Since the Syrian civil war began in 2011, over 3.8 million refugees have been displaced from their homes and forced to find safe haven in other areas. Response to the crisis has been largely positive, with aid flooding in from around the world, mainly from neighboring countries.

Not only did over 10,000 Iceland residents open up their homes when the government capped its refugee number at 50, German citizens donated so much aid to transiting refugees, the police became "overwhelmed" and asked them to stop. That's not all – an Egyptian billionaire recently announced his intention to buy an island and provide a new home for 200,000 refugees escaping the civil war.

And now, a Berlin-based group inspired to "be the change" has launched a website that is basically an Airbnb for refugees.

As The Guardian reports, Refugees Welcome is a website that matches refugees with citizens in Germany who are willing to accommodate them.
