NO ONE CHOOSES TO BE A REFUGEE

There are more than 120 million displaced people in the world. Almost half of them are children. Refugees and asylum seekers are often excluded from different services and policies, and their human rights, security and even their lives are in danger.

With your donation, we can assure that those who have been forcibly displaced are met with new and better beginnings. We operate in Finland, Uganda, Ethiopia, South Sudan and Myanmar.

WHAT DO WE DO?

We strengthen the most vulnerable, such as people affected by gender-based violence, people with disabilities and single-parent families.

We strengthen and defend the basic and human rights of asylum seekers, refugees’ and IPD’s.

We are supporting refugees’ coping by strengthening their basic skills, such as literacy, professional skills and livelihoods.
