Activities in Finland

Tell a friend

African Care works with immigrants in Finland, focusing on peer support for wellbeing and integration. The target group are immigrant women and young people living in East Helsinki, for whom we organise activities mainly in our premises in the Itis shopping centre. Currently, two projects are running – HYRRÄ and SOMENTI. We also organise smaller-scale activities, such as group activities focusing on mother-daughter interaction.

HYRRÄ

The HYRRÄ activity continues African Care’s long-standing work as a wellbeing intervention for migrant women, supporting the integration and wellbeing of women and their families through weekly peer groups.

Sharing Cafe

The new project by African Care and Metropolia UAS supports immigrant women’s ability to work and function. The activities consist of weekly open and closed groups and individual counselling.

The SOMENTI project focuses on the everyday challenges faced by Somali teenagers living between two cultures. The project also supports interaction between these teenagers, their parents and schools.

Training services

African Care offers customised courses and lectures for professionals and students in different fields.
