Our Work in Switzerland

JRS Switzerland is present in some camps of rejected asylum seekers.

One of the keywords is empowerment: Bring people together and help them to develop their strengths and to help each other, also in mobility and free formation. Create community: Together prepare and enjoy meals, realizing biking tours, accompany during and after asylum procedures, church asylum for families and vulnerable persons, networking with other solidarity movements.

During Corona-lockdown, the regular visits in the urgent shelter of non-recognized refugees are going on, but sometimes only outdoor in front of the houses. The meetings with common meals are not possible. Individual contacts to support persecuted people are going on thanks to the new media e-mail, SMS, Signal, Telegram, Wire, etc.
