Some success stories from 2020:
Mask Sewing Initiative
In Stuttgart, Germany, Anat is working with a group of refugees engaging themselves in social aid activities, benefitting both refugee and host communities.
During lockdown in early 2020, they launched a mask sewing initiative, inspiring more refugee groups across Germany to get involved. To date, thousands of reusable face masks have been distributed to refugee communities across the country, in addition to homeless people and Holocaust survivors.
Refugee Leadership
Refugees in IsraAID's leadership groups across 4 German cities launched an online Language Café. As German language schools remain closed, refugees arriving in Germany are continuing to receive support in maintaining and advancing their German.
Refugees have empowered their community to advocate for integration, even as social activities are limited.
Art Therapy
Art therapists and psychosocial consultants are continuing to meet with refugees during lockdown - in refugee shelters, in trauma centers, and in schools around Germany.
The Arabic speaking specialists assist refugees during this difficult time of social distancing and restrictions, providing mental health support and helping to improve child protection.
