About Us
Welcome to Welcome Home International (WHI)! At WHI, we are passionate about fostering integration and creating welcoming communities for newcomers in our societies. We firmly believe that integration is a mutual process, and we work tirelessly to support refugees and asylum seekers in their journey towards building a new life.
As an organisation, we are committed to finding innovative methods that facilitate natural integration. We design and implement hands-on projects that provide newcomers and local community members with the necessary tools and information to foster meaningful connections.
By engaging in volunteer activities and events, we bridge the gap between new arrivals and the local community, creating a sense of belonging and understanding.
Our projects are diverse and cater to the specific needs of refugees and asylum seekers. From language acquisition and job seeking to entrepreneurship, mentoring, and soft skill development, we address various aspects of integration. By providing tailored course content, we facilitate language learning in French, Dutch, and English, enabling newcomers to adapt effectively to their new surroundings.
Collaboration is at the heart of our work. We have established a strong network of dedicated volunteers who actively contribute to all our programs. Additionally, we partner with like-minded organizations working with refugees, amplifying our impact and reach. Together, we strive to make a positive difference in the lives of those who have sought refuge in our communities.
Communication and language support are crucial in the integration process, and we excel in these areas. Our team consists of skilled professionals in language teaching, business, ICT, social media marketing, film production, and graphic design. With our expertise in research, reporting, and analysis related to displacement, integration, and inclusion, we continuously strive to improve our approach and create meaningful outcomes.
At WHI, we are proud of our strong connections with government refugee centers and integration-focused NGOs throughout Belgium. These connections enable us to collaborate closely with existing initiatives, aligning our efforts for maximum impact.
We invite you to join us in our mission to create inclusive communities and support the integration of refugees and asylum seekers. Together, we can make a difference and build a brighter future for all.
