Armenian Caritas

The Armenian Caritas is a non-governmental organization which provides assistance to deported and voluntary returnees to Armenia on the individual as well as family level, helping them to reintegrate and build a new life within 12 months.

Based on the individual needs of the returnee, the following services are offered:

Reception at the airport
Search for (temporary) housing
Setting up a small business or finding a job (providing non-interest loans for business)
Finding appropriate training or education
Information about the country
Administrative support
Legal support
Finding useful contacts and networks
Referral to healthcare institutions

The partner countries of Armenian Caritas migration and integration projects are Austria, Belgium, Germany and Netherlands.
There are two types of cases: referred (directed) and not-referred. The decisions for assistance type and size of amount of referred cases are made by the organizations of the partner countries while the decisions for beneficiaries of not-referred cases are made by the criteria of the projects of Armenian Caritas.
