📝 Detailed information
💼 What the programme involves
The Sugny Asylum Seeker Centre hosts people who have asked for international protection in Belgium. Before being allowed to build their future here, their refugee status has to be accepted through a long administrative process. While waiting for the documents that will enable them to remain legally in our country, the asylum seekers are accommodated in this centre.
People living there never know what tomorrow may bring to them.
Therefore, residents often find themselves overwhelmed by feelings of relief and anguish, hope and disappointment. The life of Sugny Asylum Seeker Centre reflects these individual dramas and hopefulness of residents.
This project is organized in line with several other volunteering teams hosted refugees center in Belgium. It aims to bring a small contribution to the welcoming of the residents as well as to allow the volunteers to learn about and be better aware of the realities of the migration policies.
