Preparations for the project \"NGOs for Roma Refugees\" started at the end of 2023: our sponsor, SODI, provides humanitarian assistance to victims of natural disasters, wars and civil wars. In this project, it helps Roma who have fled from Ukraine.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Roma refugees in Hungary, whose native language will be Hungarian and who will leave in 2022 due to Russian aggression, are in a particularly difficult situation. It was they, the Roma community of Transcarpathia, who largely chose Hungary as the destination of their emigration. They had neither the contacts nor the capital to leave for Western Europe. Even among them, the least support went to those who settled not too far from the Ukrainian-Hungarian border, in Szabolcs-Szatm\u00e1r and Hajd\u00fa-Bihar counties. This is why the project focuses on these two counties, as they were the most affected.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This placed a huge psychological burden on them, and it was important to provide targeted and complex support and to facilitate individual access to housing.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    At our suggestion, the German donor also approved support for members of the local Roma community in need, which has significantly facilitated the reception of Roma refugees in Transcarpathia and reduced local tensions.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
