NEEKA has been part of the cross-border co-operation activities since 2002, after having participated in Sirava meeting. The international fund of health and environment protection “Region Karpat”, or NEEKA (an abbreviation of the Hungarian name) is a branch of an international NGO and has been founded to assist with individual and social development. NEEKA is also active in Hungary, Poland, Slovakia and Romania. In Ukraine, NEEKA’s activities are focused mainly on providing social protection and aid to asylum seekers and refugees, especially women, children and the elderly.
In co-operation with UNHCR and Zakarpattya regional organisation of the Red Cross, a project on providing refugees with social and medical aid is being implemented in the region. In addition, it includes basic legal counselling of women and children rendered at the Mukachevo dormitory and the Counselling Centre in Uzhgorod. With UNHCR support, ADRA (Austria) and Optimax (Hungary) jointly constructed a prefabricated house for this most vulnerable category of refugees. Hebrew Immigrants Aid Society (HIAS) |
