(MigAid) in their Learning Without Borders (LWB) project and in the Madridi Street Refugee Shelter.
The Madridi shelter is currently the largest transit refugee shelter in Hungary. Since it opened in March 2022, more than 100,000 guest nights have been spent here by refugees from Ukraine. Most of them stay only a few nights before travelling on to their intended final destination, but many stay for weeks while waiting for visas outside Europe.
The main goal of the LWB project since April 2022 is to create the possibility for children to spend their days in a safe community as soon as possible after fleeing the war zone. Within the framework of the institution, they can participate in emotional, social, and integration programs, while we provide the opportunity to continue their studies and learn the Hungarian language.
