Our mission
Our mission is to stand for the rights and well-being of refugees and other vulnerable groups in Estonia and abroad.
Our vision
Estonian Refugee Council is a provider of direct support to refugees and other vulnerable groups in as well as outside of Estonia and a renowned and independent competence center on forced migration and integration.
Our values:
Image
Humanity
in our work we follow the humanitarian imperative, that is, everybody's right to receive aid when they need it.
Image
Equality
we provide services and aid based on the need and without discriminating based on anybody's social identity or political views.
Image
Empowerment
we acknowledge the people we support as experts of their own lives and situations, we help them make informed decisions and create opportunities to follow their goals, without making decisions or choices for them.
Image
Evidence-based
we base our actions on the best current knowledge and evidence, but we also look for and work out new solutions to old problems and are not afraid to experiment.
Image
Sustainability
we keep in mind that all of our activities are financially and environmentally sustainable.
