Our area of activities
We provide support and services to our members in the following fields:
Housing
Being in the streets or in precarious housing has a negative impact on migrants’ situation. We believe that decent housing is a precondition for a productive and fulfilling life. We are offering our network with advices and services: insurances, housing opportunities, financial support…
To obtain a residence permit can be quite a challenge. There is an increase of administrative barriers so we provide volunterrs and migrants with legal advice, legal fees and support throughout the asylum procedure.
Faire partie du réseau de l’Aclaam, c’est choisir de faire partie d’une dynamique collective et de partager son expertise ! Nous organisons des temps de rencontres mensuels, des formations et des événements à destination des bénévoles. L’Aclaam, c’est la force du réseau !
Migrants can be exposed to stress and violence which affect their mental health and they lack access to mental health services. We work closely with partners to provide our network with support for Post traumatic stress disorder, individual counseling and support for volunteers involved.
