🏢 About the local organisation
Centre Couleurs du Monde is an asylum seeker centre of the Belgian Red Cross. At a time it can host up to 300 people who asked for asylum in Belgium. Their stay in the centre is temporary and lasts until the necessary documents to stay legally in this country are ready and their refugee status is proved.
Centre provides such services as accommodation, food, educational courses, medical and social help, cultural, sport events etc.
