At IOM Hungary, we recognize the significance of providing refugee individuals with supplies vital for their daily living, health, and education. This is an integral step in initiating the process of social inclusion. During our visit to the Dorkas Foundation in Debrecen, we delivered equipment necessary for establishing container schools, where the resident children can continue their education, which is essential for their development. Regular check-ins ensure that people’s needs are met. By engaging with the camp community, we gain insights into people’s evolving needs, helping us to deliver assistance effectively. 💙 #nfidistribution #socialinclusion #refugeeassistance 🤝 Auswärtiges Amt (Federal Foreign Office) Germany
