Bringing families back together: Jan's Story

For many people fleeing persecution and conflict, family reunification is often the only way to see loved ones again. This safe, legal pathway brings family members back together, but all too often complex processes get in the way. The Reunification Pathways for Integration (REPAIR) project’s goal is to improve refugee family reunion by helping separated families to reunite in Europe before, during and after they arrive.
This three-year project has been led by the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies. Working in partnership with the Austrian, British, French and Slovenian Red Cross, and with support of the International Committee of the Red Cross.
Together, we are scaling up our support by offering a range of services. These include counselling, visa application support, socio-cultural orientation sessions, psychosocial support, and language classes.
REPAIR is co-funded by the European Union’s Asylum, Migration, and Integration Fund (AMIF).
