Migrants with the Migrants
The Scalabrini International Migration Network – SIMN, founded by the Missionaries of Saint Charles – Scalabrinians, is a global network safeguarding the dignity and rights of people on the move through services, protection and advocacy in 35 countries, reaching over 600,000 people annually. SIMN Europe Africa coordinates projects across the region.
Our work in Europe and Africa
SIMN Global operates in 35 countries across five continents, supporting migrants, refugees, internally displaced people and seafarers at every stage of human mobility, from departure to transit and arrival.
In Europe and Africa we are active in 11 countries, delivering coordinated services and projects with local partners to address urgent needs while promoting inclusion, the protection of rights and sustainable integration.
We uphold the principle that migration should be a right, not an obligation, combining reception and assistance programs with training initiatives that strengthen skills and autonomy, and working with local communities to foster inclusive, resilient societies grounded in human dignity and solidarity.
Advocacy and Fundraising for Human Mobility
SIMN Europe Africa strengthens the Scalabrinian network across Europe and Africa through advocacy and fundraising. We promote policies and public narratives that protect the dignity and rights of people on the move. We mobilize resources that sustain protection, education, accompaniment and community-based initiatives on the ground. Inspired by the principles of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, we translate values into coordinated action, linking rights, resources and responsibility. Below are the main areas of intervention addressed by the projects promoted across our network.
