Where?
Malteser Hilfsdienst e.V., Integrations- und Flüchtlingsarbeit
In Munich we have two projects: the Job Mentoring Program and that Empowerment Project for women!
In the job mentoring programme, refugees receive individual support in preparing application documents, using computers, learning the German language and challenging themselves at vocational school.
In the empowerment project for women we create bags with women from different countries. We develop a common logo and distribute the bags for donations in Munich. During the project the women receive various workshops and coaching.
