Supporting Afghan Families and Individuals in Daily Life

Our Social Services provide vital, comprehensive support to Afghan families and individuals in Oostende, helping them navigate the complexities of beginning a new chapter in Belgium. We understand the challenges that come with adjusting to a different culture, learning a new language, and integrating into a foreign social system.

With a deep commitment to our community’s well-being, we focus on delivering practical assistance that addresses immediate needs and fosters long-term stability. By guiding families through essential areas such as housing, employment, and access to health resources, we empower them to overcome obstacles, establish roots, and thrive in their new environment. Our goal is to ensure every member of our community feels supported, valued, and equipped to build a secure and fulfilling life in Belgium.

In addition to addressing these core needs, we also emphasize community-building initiatives that foster a sense of belonging and connection among Afghan residents in Oostende. Through workshops, support groups, and social events, we create opportunities for individuals to share experiences, build friendships, and strengthen their ties to both the Afghan and wider Belgian communities. These activities not only provide emotional support but also help promote mutual understanding and collaboration across cultural lines.
