Projects in planning
My Language
A project for children from families with a migration background or those who have themselves fled their home country. The aim of this project is to give the children the opportunity to experience the language of their family in spoken and written form. This gives them the opportunity to communicate with their family and friends in their country of origin. But this can also be important for those who return to their home country for certain reasons.
My Life in Germany
The My Life in Germany project is about providing our new friends and fellow citizens with basic knowledge about living together in Germany, such as the rights of men and women, how to behave in situations involving right-wing violence and much more. Furthermore, there is advice on contraception, taking into account the individual cultures.
Returnees
In this project, we want to advise and support people who have to or want to return to their home countries. We plan the individual steps together, help to ensure that private property can be taken away and try to support individual cases financially by appealing for donations.
Hello Baby
This project is designed to support young mothers in applying for the initial equipment, as well as the birth certificate, child benefit, parental allowance, etc. If desired, we accompany young mothers during the first few weeks and help them to master their new everyday life.
