The Baladi Foundation: Helping Arab and Palestinian refugees integrate into Chile
Marwa A
Palestinian refugees in Chile
Historically, Chile has always been a destination for global migration, currently hosting around one million Arab refugees, many of whom cannot return to their countries of origin. Refugees often wait months, or even years, before receiving language training and other forms of integration support. It is not only the government looking to support refugees’ integration: employers, immigrant associations, community organisations and unions all play a role. Among the institutions serving immigrant communities is the Baladi Foundation, founded and tailored to address the needs of refugees in society.
The Baladi Foundation was established by a group of friends who felt the need to connect with Arab and Palestinian families arriving in Chile with no links to others in society. The foundation’s objective is to protect the rights and promote the social welfare of the migrant population in Chile by implementing government policies, developing mentorship programmes, expanding refugees’ skills and welcoming newcomers to the community.
