According to these data, 19,917 people benefited from social, 17,316 health and 12,808 refugees legal consultancy services in the centres. Thousands of beneficiaries who benefited from consultancy activities and participated in the activities explained their problems and found solutions to their problems by receiving the necessary consultancy services. Many beneficiaries developed themselves through personal and social development activities and made a difference in their lives. MUDEM, which prioritizes activities for disadvantaged groups, especially women, children, the disabled and the elderly, organized activities in many areas, especially social cohesion and awareness-raising activities. With the personal development, social cohesion and cultural activities it carried out, it reached more than fifty thousand refugees. Bringing together the local and refugee population with activities such as cultural events, festivals and concerts, MUDEM hosted many events that increase social cohesion. Reaching refugees with limited access to centers with its field workers, MUDEM made nearly four thousand home visits with the permission and coordination of relevant public institutions and organizations, and reached refugees in need of support on site.

Awareness of the growing refugee and migration problem

Drawing attention to the increase in the number of refugees who had to leave their country due to the rapid increase in conflict and violence events in the world due to war and discrimination, MUDEM also contributed to producing solutions for their issues by organizing awareness-raising conferences and events on refugee and migration issues throughout the year.

Our work in 2018 could not have reached this point without our relevant public institutions, partners, donors, and most importantly, our beneficiaries who have not spared their trust in us. Welcome!
