The number of people fleeing conflict zones, persecution and human rights violations worldwide has never been as high as it is today. Need4Deed is set to promote the inclusion and integration of refugees in Berlin through the actions of civil society by making volunteering more accessible. We aim to build a sustainable and scalable mechanism for this purpose by connecting volunteers with refugees that are living in accommodation centers in Berlin based on their specific needs.
People living under destitute life conditions should be given equal opportunities. The latter includes underserved individuals and groups affected by forced migration.
Both countries (the state) and civil society, have responsibility towards its underserved communities including those affected by forced migration.
In particular, groups and individuals who have undergone forced migration could be best understood and supported by others with migration background in the course of their integration process, so that they receive equal opportunities and eventually benefit society themselves.
A migrant-to-migrant support alongside non-migrant support, can both play a key social role by facilitating a more rapid integration process and active participation of the supported communities.
Applying technology in the effort to support underserved communities is a key value to make support giving and receiving more inclusive, accessible and scalable.
