You have the opportunity to contribute
to the education of refugee children!
Thousands of refugee children are socially disadvantaged AND in need of guidance. Through education we can offer them a chance to a brighter future. We launched Edu-Help in order to connect passionate university students, wanting to volunteer with refugee centers. Within this program, students can teach refugee children in their native language, helping them to integrate faster within society.
