Coun­sel­ing for Refugees from Africa and Migrants from Out­side the EU

We serve Karl­sruhe and the Karl­sruhe dis­trict, specifically

. We focus on the needs of Soma­li refugees and oth­er African refugees in the sur­round­ing area. This includes not only refugees but also long-term res­i­dents from Soma­lia and oth­er African countries.

We can help you with the fol­low­ing top­ics, among others:

Fam­i­ly: Ques­tions about fam­i­ly reunification.

Lan­guage: Place­ment in inte­gra­tion cours­es and oth­er Ger­man lan­guage courses.

Work: Appli­ca­tions and search­es for intern­ships and jobs, as well as assis­tance with ques­tions regard­ing the recog­ni­tion of pro­fes­sion­al qualifications.

Health: For ques­tions relat­ed to health (e.g., doc­tors, health insurance).

Chil­dren and fam­i­ly: Ques­tions about preschool, school, and voca­tion­al training.
