About EGALA
At EGALA it is our mission to create the most welcoming and empowering spaces for migrants. We transform cities and lives by connecting global to local, unlocking potential, and catalyzing bright futures.
We do this by providing people with migrant background to access to skills and jobs via mentoring, workshops & placement programs.
We believe work is the most important path towards integration, dignity and belonging and gives people purpose and a better sense of self.
