Organizace pro pomoc uprchlíkům

Mission & Goals

The Organization for Aid to Refugees (OPU) is the oldest and largest non-governmental, non-profit humanitarian organization helping refugees and migrants in Czechia. Mission: OPU was founded with the goal to help migrants who were uprooted, or who became refugees because of political, ethnic, religious, social, racial, sexual orientation and/or gender reasons, and applied for international protection in the Czech Republic. OPU supports such people in many ways and treats them with respect and dignity. OPU removes obstacles in their path to lead a fulfilled life. Because to help and support those in need is human. Vision: We believe that helping migrants/refugees to find their new roots in a new environment will enrich the whole society. We believe that in the global world, diversity and collaboration have a higher chance to succeed. We believe that positive examples can dismantle prejudice and hatred. We are convinced that this fosters the growth of an open society.
