Information for

Refugees

We believe newly arriving people and locals, irrespective of whether they seek refuge, work voluntarily or full-time, should learn from each other. On Wefugees, you can ask all your questions! Regardless of whether you are looking for sport clubs, are surprised about the high number of dogs running around or whether you need legal advice. In this way, we want to support you in feeling more comfortable in Germany. Yet, you are not only helping Your participation does thereby not only help yourself! By sharing your experience and asking questions, you also help other people that may have arrived later in Germany and you support volunteers, who again help others. This is why we support refugees, volunteers and experts in helping each other and enable sustainable access to their knowledge. In doing so, Wefugees not only facilitates self-empowerment, it also reduces the pressure of conventional support programs through effective knowledge transfer.

Information for

Organisations

Due to the inefficient knowledge transfer in refugee support, many processes have to be repeated multiple times which often leads to overwhelmed full-time employees! Although hundreds of organisations and initiatives already work at full speed, they nonetheless have difficulties in providing access to important information for refugees and volunteers. Wefugees offers a solution to this problem! In cooperation with refugees, volunteers and aid organisations we gather collectively generated information on one platform and make real-time access to information possible.

If you are interested in cooperating with us, please don’t hesitate to contact our partner management under: henriette@wefugees.de

Information for

Companies

We believe that integration is a process led by both refugees and locals. We encourage actors from different societal backgrounds to promote a shared, open and supporting society. Your company is critical for this as well.

Social engagement not only increases your employees satisfaction, it also builds and strengthens their commitment to the companiesy. Helping newcomers to start a life establish themselves in Germany by providing professional knowledge to them bears great advantages for you, too!

You may ask why? Because intercultural competence improves your company culture and attracts new employees.

So don’t wait: Do something good (for yourself)!

About us

Information should be a human right

We believe that a society will become more inclusive once its members interact eye to eye. We believe that knowledge should not be monopolized and limited to a small number of people, but it should be gathered collectively and accessible to all.

This is why we support refugees, volunteers and experts in helping each other and enable sustainable access to their knowledge. In doing so, Wefugees not only facilitates self-empowerment, it also reduces the pressure of conventional support programs through effective knowledge transfer.
