55+ Fund Amsterdam
A hard life, frequently with precarious housing, hard physical work and poor nutrition often ages undocumented people prematurely.
Thanks to the generosity of a private charity, we have been able to start a fund for 55-plussers. This fund caters for individual situations, providing things like walking and hearing aids. It has also allowed us to make vitamin distributions at the onset of the winter.
In addition, we have started walking clubs to promote healthier living habits and address isolation. Our elderly beneficiaries meet for a walk, cook and eat a healthy meal together and they play some card games in the afternoon.
Emergency Fund Amsterdam
In 2023, we were entrusted with a sum to set up an Emergency Fund that we can use at our discretion to help undocumented people who are either in an emergency humanitarian situation, or who need some help to structurally improve their lives. This Fund has contributed to ease the life of several hundreds of people, 70% women and children.
We assist people in their journey toward legalisation, by financing passports and other administrative costs; and by funding their journey for people who have a better chance in another European country.
We deliver para-medical items, from crutches and wheelchairs to high-calorie food for patients undergoing cancer treatment.
We provide transportation means, second hand bikes and public transportation credits, for children to go to school or adults to go to medical or legal appointments.
We solve some dramatic humanitarian situations, like a 14-years old single mother whom we equipped with the basics she needed for her newborn.
