Empowering Roma women through mentorship: insights from Finland’s National Report
Support and activities
We offer support and activities for young people in different kinds of challenging situations across Finland – so that no young person is left alone.
We started work supporting the training and integration of immigrants nearly 30 years ago. We assist those in distress and people who have fled from dangers in their home countries. We help people to integrate into their new country. Our aim is that each person who has received a residence permit will find his or her place in society.
We create welcoming communities where trust, inclusion, and agency are strengthened. We want to be an open, diverse, and safe community for everyone.
In projects, we develop solutions to societal challenges and defend the conditions for a dignified life.
