Asylum and integration
Asylum seekers, recognised refugees and disadvantaged migrants are often confronted with obstacles when trying to build a future in Switzerland. This exposes them to great risks of poverty. Caritas Switzerland supports them in a number of different ways: In the cantons of Fribourg, Schwyz, Zug and Zurich it carries out service mandates for the accommodation and care of asylum seekers and refugees. In addition, Caritas offers legal advice and representation as well as repatriation advice. In other projects, it promotes social participation.
