Tackling Poverty / Solidarity

Defending human rights / Migration
Emmaus Helsinki has for many years worked on finding a way to support the Roma migrants so that they could secure regular work and a decent income, and in this way fully participate in the world of work, and enjoy equal rights and responsibilities.
It all started when a few people from Sweden heard about Abbé Pierre’s work and travelled to France to work alongside him for a time.
