Everything we do
is evidence-based

We founded OPORA Foundation in 2022 in response to the arrival of displaced people from Ukraine in the Netherlands. We use an evidence-based approach to tackling the long-term challenges faced by displaced individuals and other communities in need. We design programs that aim to improve the lives of migrants in the Netherlands, other countries in the EU, and beyond. We create solutions rooted in real needs, identified through rigorous research.
