How we work?
We aim to motivate members of the society to collaborate, work and learn together by sharing innovative ideas in order to achieve certain objectives in contributing to make the world a better place. We seek to promote democratic values, economic empowerment, and gender equity and empower refugees, immigrants, and marginalized members of society through appropriate participatory programmes particularly in the UK, Europe, Middle East, North Africa and Central Asia by building the capacity of Diasporas, conducting research and advocacy.
We strive to find better ways of social life through research, education and campaigning. Having a good and comfortable life is the right of every human being, so we try to find and solve social problems that hinder the well-being of family and society.
