Resumo: The head organisation is a Catholic institution whose core belief is to try to help and support people in need.
The organization is actively involved in the work with refugees. We operate two homes for refugees in the city, where we mainly focus on the social support of the residents. We want to give shelter to the refugees until the legal proceedings are finished and it is clarified what happens to the refugees. We work together with various other institutions devoted to ease the fate of the refugees: Amnesty International, Refugee Service of the Protestant Church and other initiatives, also within the national organization network and cooperate on an international level with the UNHCR.

The organization offers a long-term EVS (10 months) for 1 volunteer. The volunteer is directly involved in the institution of the home for refugees; where even the supervision and instruction of the volunteers takes place. Furthermore, there is the possibility to get to know the whole organisation of the orgnization, with its different institutions.
