Most people living in Switzerland without permanent status are obliged by law to leave Switzerland. This includes, for example, rejected asylum seekers and undocumented migrants. They have no prospects here and fear that once they return to their country of origin, they will fall back into the same desperate situation that drove them to migrate. Those who meet the criteria established by the State Secretariat for Migration (SEM) on the basis of the Law on Asylum (LAsi) are assisted in their return. However, a significant number of vulnerable migrants do not receive anything. This is where the association “Reintegration in the country of origin”, with its many years of experience, comes into play. In cooperation with the International Social Service (SSI), it enables people who wish to return to take their future into their own hands.
We advise these people before their departure in their search for career prospects and training opportunities, accompany and coach them locally after their return and allocate an appropriate financial contribution to the project.
