Are you a deaf refugee from Ukraine? Have you already arrived in Finland or thinking about coming here as an asylum seeker? This webpage is for you.
The Finnish Association of the Deaf (Kuurojen Liitto ry) offers support for deaf refugees from Ukraine. Our main goal is to work with the Finnish Immigration Service so that all deaf refugees from Ukraine could stay in greater Helsinki area, where access to sign language services and interpreting is better than anywhere else in Finland, making it easier for Ukrainian deaf refugees to settle in a new country.
