Where we work Around the World

Since the war in Ukraine began, our entity, have launched a series of actions in order to offer and facilitate humanitarian aid for the thousands of people who are being expelled of their cities. For our entity, addressing the humanitarian emergency is part of the mechanisms that we put into operation every time there is a humanitarian crisis due to an armed or environmental conflict. And it is that our position in Europe and mainly in the countries of the East of the continent favor and facilitate that help reaches those who need it most.

Currently, more than 3,000,000 people are being refugees in countries close to Ukraine, with the aggravating circumstance that the main aid posts in the country are being destroyed.

Due to its proximity to Ukraine, Romania serves as one of the primary gateways for Ukrainian refugees entering Europe. In response, our hotels in Romania are hosting refugees from Ukraine, providing them with warm beds, meals, and shower facilities. Not only Ukrainian refugees but also all individuals in need can benefit from our accommodations. Alongside our mobile kitchen operations, we deliver daily hot meal services to needy people across various regions of Romania. Additionally, at our drug rehabilitation centers, we treat individuals with substance dependencies, offer employment, provide housing, and facilitate their reintegration into society.

By providing this comprehensive support, we aim to alleviate the hardships faced by refugees and others affected, ensuring they receive the necessary aid to rebuild their lives and integrate smoothly into the community.

After the 7.8 magnitude earthquake hit Turkey on February 6, 2023, resulting in the destruction of approximately 300,000 apartments and the loss of over 50,000 lives, the Remar SOS team immediately set out for Turkey.

After the conflict in Syria, the refugee crisis began abroad. Greece, Serbia and Croatia, countries where the situation was getting out of control, were the main places where S.O.S. REMAR’s action took place, giving immediate response to the needs of the refugees who were crying out for help every day.

During the winter months the tents were conditioned with mobile heating systems.

We collaborate with the Greek government to establish refugee camps for individuals forced to flee their countries due to war, famine, or civil unrest, assisting in their integration. We are actively engaged in providing a range of essential services to the refugees residing in these camps, including the distribution of hot meals, food aid, hygiene supplies, and language courses. Our efforts not only facilitate their integration into the country but also help create social environments that aid in healing the traumas that forced them to flee their homelands.

REMAR) were opened immediately after the outbreak of the crisis in Budapest in the Republic of Hungary, continuing to extend the action program to the different countries where the situation had overwhelmed the authorities, making it necessary and urgent for civil society to become involved in this humanitarian call for solidarity.

After the emergency situation and the alarming numbers of thousands of displaced people, REMAR moved to Budapest station, where hundreds of families remained in a situation of helplessness and disorientation. We immediately set up a dining room with capacity for one hundred people inside the station, being the only NGO to which the Hungarian authorities granted the necessary permits to distribute hot food and to be able to prepare it in the same facilities. In this first action, more than 1,000 portions of food were distributed daily during the time that the emergency situation continued at this transit point. Following the Hungarian government’s decision to close its borders, we moved to the border area of Serbia with Hungary, to a town called Horgos, acting immediately and allowing access to basic services such as clothing, food and assistance. Given the extreme situation of need, we decided to open canteens at all possible border points along the route followed by most of the displaced and refugee population.
