ONE platform for refugees to ask all their questions. They can support each other and get in contact with locals and experts from different fields.

It's the first Q&A community for refugee topics with verified experts.
Organisations and refugee advice centres can reduce the load of questions they have and are able to coordinate better with other organisations. So they can concentrate on questions where their expertise is really needed. Let's build ONE Community instead of building walls!

Refugees have a lot of questions concerning everyday problems, legal advices, etc. but mostly they don’t know where to ask them yet.
Even though in Germany, there has been a great movement of building up new initiatives willing to help the people with their needs. These facilities are still not working together as one.
This is why Wefugee aims to be a platform where all expertise from different fields come together to fulfill the common goal – to make the life of people, seeking refuge easier.

Our aim is to build ONE Community consisting of refugees, locals and experts, to show locals the everyday problems of refugees and bring them together. Organisations and refugee advice centres can reduce the load of questions they get, so they can concentrate on questions where their expertise is really needed.
Wefugee will grow across Europe and be an open, European space on refugees concerns. With it we have a tool to see where help and information is needed and what the main questions are.

The Wefugee community is based on a professional service community software which is usually used by companies to improve their customer service relations.
To reach refugees with questions, we build up cooperations with governmental institutions and refugee advice centres and will be linked as an option to ask questions online, instead of calling them. Furthermore Wefugee.org is going to be the interactive part of the official information platform (website and app) for refugees in Germany. Social media channels like Facebook and Twitter are used to spread new information, get more users and increase the coverage of Wefugee.org.

Refugees benefit from a support platform, where they can find efficiently valuable information from experts. Refugee advice centres benefit by reducing the load of questions they have and by achieving a better coordination with other organisations. Society as a whole will benefit, when integration is becoming less difficult by transforming the refugees concerns to citizens concerns. Through more coordination and more efficient work, budgets can be preserved and redirected to where it is needed.

People fleeing due to war, climate change and terrorism is not a problem ending soon. Facing the new challenge of including these people kindly & efficient in society is the outstanding criteria why Wefugee was built. Wefugee improves the situation nowadays and addresses the future by creating a way where people come closer together and help each other sustainably.
Helping refugees to get started, connect them with people within europe and let experts work together, is one way to do so.
