Do you want to help better integration of people who applied for asylum specially mothers?
The Netherlands Red Cross is there for people in need. Both around the corner and far away. We help from our hearts and with our sleeves rolled up. We also make sure that people can help themselves and teach them how to help others. So that in times of need, no one is alone.
Worldwide, we work on the basis of our seven Fundamental Principles: humanity, impartiality, neutrality, independence, voluntary service, unity and universality.
Within the Mother Empowerment Program, we help mothers living in asylum shelters improve their physical and mental wellbeing and support their integration into Dutch society.
