Fields of activity
The work of Pena.ger eV is based on a holistic consulting approach that takes the diverse realities of life for refugees and immigrants into account.
Our services are geared towards specific needs in different phases of life – from initial guidance during the asylum process to targeted referrals to specialized agencies. Particular emphasis is placed on low-threshold access, clear communication, and respectful, empowering support.
The aim is not only to provide legal and social support to those seeking advice, but also to enable them to have orientation, scope for action and participation.
